mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock
When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock() range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and moving it to the unevictable lru. This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a range again. Currently: #define MAP_SIZE (4 << 30) /* 4GB */ void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0); mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); $ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo Inactive(anon): 6304 kB Unevictable: 4213924 kB munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4186252 kB Unevictable: 19652 kB mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4198556 kB Unevictable: 21684 kB Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the 4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment. If posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at all on the second mlock(). The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the page is added to the unevictable list. With this patch: mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4056 kB Unevictable: 4213940 kB munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4198268 kB Unevictable: 19636 kB mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4008 kB Unevictable: 4213940 kB Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
