Let me know how you want to proceed. Well done, identifying the mysterious cause of this problem: I'm glad to hear that you've now verified that hypothesis. You're right, it would be a regression to follow Matthew's suggestion. Traditionally, modulo bugs and inconsistencies, the queue_pages_range() phase of do_mbind() has done the best it can, gathering all the pages it can that need migration, even if some were missed; and proceeds to do the mbind_range() phase if there was nothing "seriously" wrong (a gap causing -EFAULT). Then at the end, if MPOL_MF_STRICT was set, and not all the pages could be migrated (or MOVE was not specified and not all pages were well placed), it returns -EIO rather than 0 to inform the caller that not all could be done. There have been numerous tweaks, but I think most importantly 5.3's d883544515aa ("mm: mempolicy: make the behavior consistent when MPOL_MF_MOVE* and MPOL_MF_STRICT were specified") added those "return 1"s which stop the pagewalk early. In my opinion, not an improvement - makes it harder to get mbind() to do the best job it can (or is it justified as what you're asking for if you say STRICT?). But whatever, it would be a further regression for mbind() not to have done the mbind_range(), even though it goes on to return -EIO. I had a bad first reaction to your walk_page_range() patch (was expecting to see vma_start_write()s in mbind_range()), but perhaps your patch is exactly what process_mm_walk_lock() does now demand. [Why is Hugh responding on this? Because I have some long-standing mm/mempolicy.c patches to submit next week, but in reviewing what I could or could not afford to get into at this time, had decided I'd better stay out of queue_pages_range() for now - beyond the trivial preferring an MPOL_MF_WRLOCK flag to your bool lock_vma.] Hugh --8323328-522046950-1694751990=:12895--
