Stefan Behrens [Wed, 1 Aug 2012 16:56:49 +0000 (18:56 +0200)]
Btrfs: make filesystem read-only when submitting barrier fails

So far the return code of barrier_all_devices() is ignored, which
means that errors are ignored. The result can be a corrupt
filesystem which is not consistent.
This commit adds code to evaluate the return code of
barrier_all_devices(). The normal btrfs_error() mechanism is used to
switch the filesystem into read-only mode when errors are detected.

In order to decide whether barrier_all_devices() should return
error or success, the number of disks that are allowed to fail the
barrier submission is calculated. This calculation accounts for the
worst RAID level of metadata, system and data. If single, dup or
RAID0 is in use, a single disk error is already considered to be
fatal. Otherwise a single disk error is tolerated.

The calculation of the number of disks that are tolerated to fail
the barrier operation is performed when the filesystem gets mounted,
when a balance operation is started and finished, and when devices
are added or removed.

Btrfs: fix orphan transaction on the freezed filesystem

With the following debug patch:

 static int btrfs_freeze(struct super_block *sb)
 {
+  struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info = btrfs_sb(sb);
+ struct btrfs_transaction *trans;

+ trans = fs_info->running_transaction;

+ trans->transid, atomic_read(&trans->use_count),
+ atomic_read(&trans->num_writers));
+ }
+ spin_unlock(&fs_info->trans_lock);
  return 0;
 }

I found there was a orphan transaction after the freeze operation was done.

It is because the transaction may not be committed when the transaction handle
end even though it is the last handle of the current transaction. This design
avoid committing the transaction frequently, but also introduce the above
problem.

So I add btrfs_attach_transaction() which can catch the current transaction
and commit it. If there is no transaction, it will return ENOENT, and do not
anything.

This function also can be used to instead of btrfs_join_transaction_freeze()
because it don't increase the writer counter and don't start a new transaction,
so it also can fix the deadlock between sync and freeze.

Besides that, it is used to instead of btrfs_join_transaction() in
transaction_kthread(), because if there is no transaction, the transaction
kthread needn't anything.

sparc64: Support transparent huge pages.

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.

Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding.  The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation.  This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want.  We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.

set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table.  In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.

We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.

With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

mm: thp: Use more portable PMD clearing sequenece in zap_huge_pmd().

Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various
architectures.

One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate
pending flushes into a per-cpu array.  Then the flush_tlb_range() et al.
calls process the pending TLB flushes.

In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are
essentially NOPs.

The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is:

ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte,
tlb->fullmm);
tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr);

With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed.

Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using:

orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd);
page = pmd_page(orig_pmd);
tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr);

sparc64: Eliminate PTE table memory wastage.

We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead of
a full page.  This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page
support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB.

What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the
mm struct.

This logic triggers only on allocations.  For example, we don't try to
keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port
does.

1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *".  There's all of this special
   logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the
   PMD populate interfaces.

2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct

sparc64: Halve the size of PTE tables

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page
support.

Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB.
 The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE
!= PMD_SIZE.

So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page.

We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which
on sparc64 requires 44 bits.  Add a compile time CPP test which ensures
that this requirement is always met.

There is a minor inefficiency added by this change.  We only use half of
the page for PTE tables.  It's not trivial to use only half of the page
yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working
properly.  It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

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:

memory-hotplug: update memory block's state and notify userspace

remove_memory() will be called when hot removing a memory device.  But
even if offlining memory, we cannot notice it.  So the patch updates the
memory block's state and sends notification to userspace.

Additionally, the memory device may contain more than one memory block.
If the memory block has been offlined, __offline_pages() will fail.  So we
should try to offline one memory block at a time.

Thus remove_memory() also check each memory block's state.  So there is no
need to check the memory block's state before calling remove_memory().

memory-hotplug: preparation to notify memory block's state at memory hot remove

remove_memory() is called in two cases:
1. echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/state
2. hot remove a memory device

In the 1st case, the memory block's state is changed and the notification
that memory block's state changed is sent to userland after calling
remove_memory().  So user can notice memory block is changed.

But in the 2nd case, the memory block's state is not changed and the
notification is not also sent to userspcae even if calling
remove_memory().  So user cannot notice memory block is changed.

For adding the notification at memory hot remove, the patch just prepare
as follows:
1st case uses offline_pages() for offlining memory.
2nd case uses remove_memory() for offlining memory and changing memory block's
    state and notifing the information.

The patch does not implement notification to remove_memory().

11 years agomm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock
Sagi Grimberg [Mon, 8 Oct 2012 23:33:33 +0000 (16:33 -0700)]
mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock

In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock.  This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.

To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:

unsigned long mmun_start; /* For mmu_notifiers */
unsigned long mmun_end; /* For mmu_notifiers */

...

mmun_start = ...
mmun_end = ...
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

...

mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.

This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.

Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?

  Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
  and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
  virtual addresses directly to HW.  Until now, this was achieved by
  pinning the memory during the registration calls.  The goal of on demand
  paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
   This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
  other part of their processes address spaces.  Instead of requiring the
  entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
  and only fit the current working set in physical memory.

Why should anyone care?  What problems are users currently experiencing?

  This can make programming with RDMA much simpler.  Today, developers
  that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
  deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
  life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it.  On demand
  paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
  beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
  which pages needs to be fetched at a given time.  In the future, we
  might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
  that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
  region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
  all.

Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes?  If so, which and how, etc?

  As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
  MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
  http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
  perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.

  Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
  hardware with the secondary page tables change.  A TLB flush of an IO
  device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
  sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
  interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.

Avi said:

  kvm may be a buyer.  kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
  faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
  It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
  mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.

  (there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
  generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
  is doing up there).

that's equivalent and pmd_none is quicker so using pmd_none is better.

However (unless we delete pmd_present) we should provide an accurate
pmd_present too.  This will avoid the risk of code thinking the pmd is non
present because it's under __split_huge_page_map, see the pmd_mknotpresent
there and the comment above it.

If the page has been mprotected as PROT_NONE, it would also lead to a
pmd_present false negative in the same way as the race with
split_huge_page.

Because the PSE bit stays on at all times (both during split_huge_page and
when the _PAGE_PROTNONE bit get set), we could only check for the PSE bit,
but checking the PROTNONE bit too is still good to remember pmd_present
must always keep PROT_NONE into account.

This explains a not reproducible BUG_ON that was seldom reported on the
lists.

The same issue is in pmd_large, it would go wrong with both PROT_NONE and
if it races with split_huge_page.

11 years agomm, numa: reclaim from all nodes within reclaim distance

mm, numa: reclaim from all nodes within reclaim distance

RECLAIM_DISTANCE represents the distance between nodes at which it is
deemed too costly to allocate from; it's preferred to try to reclaim from
a local zone before falling back to allocating on a remote node with such
a distance.

To do this, zone_reclaim_mode is set if the distance between any two
nodes on the system is greather than this distance.  This, however, ends
up causing the page allocator to reclaim from every zone regardless of
its affinity.

What we really want is to reclaim only from zones that are closer than
RECLAIM_DISTANCE.  This patch adds a nodemask to each node that
represents the set of nodes that are within this distance.  During the
zone iteration, if the bit for a zone's node is set for the local node,
then reclaim is attempted; otherwise, the zone is skipped.

mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()

We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as
mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that
truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still
mishandled:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
char *map;
int fd;

system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR);
unlink("chigurh");
ftruncate(fd, 4096);
map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
map[0] = 11;
mlock(map, sizeof(fd));
ftruncate(fd, 0);
close(fd);
munlock(map, sizeof(fd));
munmap(map, 4096);
system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
return 0;
}

The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of
the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to
look out for them there in page_remove_rmap().  Indeed, why should
truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing
from pagecache?  mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a
property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

mm: fix invalidate_complete_page2() lock ordering

In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion
dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while
still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock:

invalidate_inode_pages2
  invalidate_complete_page2
    spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock)
    clear_page_mlock
      isolate_lru_page
        spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock)

isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally:
invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while
holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock.

Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call
clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree.
 I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again)
under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has
already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no
worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.

mm: fix-up zone present pages

I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management,
it should be:

zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages,

but is now:
zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages.

spanned pages: total size, including holes.
absent pages: holes.
bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator.
memmap pages: pages used by page structs.

This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be.  For example,
numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other
bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's
present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also
minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from
ZONE_MOVABLE.  When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause
zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long
type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused
zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large
integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a
large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory
allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()).

[root@localhost ~]# dmesg
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory

I think the bug described in

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2

is also caused by wrong zone present pages.

This patch intends to fix-up zone->present_pages when memory are freed to
buddy system on x86_64 and IA64 platforms.

11 years agomm: compaction: clear PG_migrate_skip based on compaction and reclaim activity
Mel Gorman [Mon, 8 Oct 2012 23:32:47 +0000 (16:32 -0700)]
mm: compaction: clear PG_migrate_skip based on compaction and reclaim activity

Compaction caches if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated so
that the pageblocks can be skipped in the future to reduce scanning.  This
information is not cleared by the page allocator based on activity due to
the impact it would have to the page allocator fast paths.  Hence there is
a requirement that something clear the cache or pageblocks will be skipped
forever.  Currently the cache is cleared if there were a number of recent
allocation failures and it has not been cleared within the last 5 seconds.
Time-based decisions like this are terrible as they have no relationship
to VM activity and is basically a big hammer.

Unfortunately, accurate heuristics would add cost to some hot paths so
this patch implements a rough heuristic.  There are two cases where the
cache is cleared.

1. If a !kswapd process completes a compaction cycle (migrate and free
   scanner meet), the zone is marked compact_blockskip_flush. When kswapd
   goes to sleep, it will clear the cache. This is expected to be the
   common case where the cache is cleared. It does not really matter if
   kswapd happens to be asleep or going to sleep when the flag is set as
   it will be woken on the next allocation request.

2. If there have been multiple failures recently and compaction just
   finished being deferred then a process will clear the cache and start a
   full scan.  This situation happens if there are multiple high-order
   allocation requests under heavy memory pressure.

The clearing of the PG_migrate_skip bits and other scans is inherently
racy but the race is harmless.  For allocations that can fail such as THP,
they will simply fail.  For requests that cannot fail, they will retry the
allocation.  Tests indicated that scanning rates were roughly similar to
when the time-based heuristic was used and the allocation success rates
were similar.

11 years agomm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off
Mel Gorman [Mon, 8 Oct 2012 23:32:45 +0000 (16:32 -0700)]
mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off

This is almost entirely based on Rik's previous patches and discussions
with him about how this might be implemented.

Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page
order have been coalesced.  When doing subsequent higher order
allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times.

However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to
compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to
at the end of the zone.

This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the
end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the
compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone.
 This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with
certain workloads on larger memory systems.

This patch caches where the migration and free scanner should start from
on subsequent compaction invocations using the pageblock-skip information.
 When compaction starts it begins from the cached restart points and will
update the cached restart points until a page is isolated or a pageblock
is skipped that would have been scanned by synchronous compaction.

11 years agomm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated
Mel Gorman [Mon, 8 Oct 2012 23:32:41 +0000 (16:32 -0700)]
mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated

When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could
potentially be excessive.  The ideal was that a counter be maintained for
each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe
penalty due to a shared writable cache line.  It has reached the point
where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on
long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large
number of THPs at the same time.

Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the
pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip.  If a pageblock is scanned by
either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is
marked to be skipped in the future.  When scanning, this bit is checked
before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set.

The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached
information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be
excessive.  If the information is too stale then allocations will fail
that might have otherwise succeeded.  In this patch

o CMA always ignores the information
o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will
  be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache
  was discarded
o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache.

The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a
better event.  Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still
allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick
succession due to memory pressure.  Waiting until memory pressure is
relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using
reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page.  The time-based mechanism is
clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lru_lock as late as possible

Richard Davies and Shaohua Li have both reported lock contention problems
in compaction on the zone and LRU locks as well as significant amounts of
time being spent in compaction.  This series aims to reduce lock
contention and scanning rates to reduce that CPU usage.  Richard reported
at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/21/91 that this series made a big
different to a problem he reported in August:

   http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=134511507015614&w=2

Patch 1 defers acquiring the zone->lru_lock as long as possible.

Patch 2 defers acquiring the zone->lock as lock as possible.

Patch 3 reverts Rik's "skip-free" patches as the core concept gets
reimplemented later and the remaining patches are easier to
understand if this is reverted first.

Patch 4 adds a pageblock-skip bit to the pageblock flags to cache what
pageblocks should be skipped by the migrate and free scanners.
This drastically reduces the amount of scanning compaction has
to do.

Patch 5 reimplements something similar to Rik's idea except it uses the
pageblock-skip information to decide where the scanners should
restart from and does not need to wrap around.

I tested this on 3.6-rc6 + linux-next/akpm. Kernels tested were

akpm-20120920 3.6-rc6 + linux-next/akpm as of Septeber 20th, 2012
lesslock Patches 1-6

cachefail Patches 1-8
skipuseless Patches 1-9

Stress high-order allocation tests looked ok.  Success rates are more or
less the same with the full series applied but there is an expectation
that there is less opportunity to race with other allocation requests if
there is less scanning.  The time to complete the tests did not vary that
much and are uninteresting as were the vmstat statistics so I will not
present them here.

Using ftrace I recorded how much scanning was done by compaction and got this

The efficiency is worthless because of the nature of the test and the
number of failures.  The really interesting point as far as this patch
series is concerned is the number of pages scanned.  Note that reverting
Rik's patches massively increases the number of pages scanned indicating
that those patches really did make a difference to CPU usage.

However, caching what pageblocks should be skipped has a much higher
impact.  With patches 1-8 applied, free page and migrate page scanning are
both reduced by 95% in comparison to the akpm kernel.  If the basic
concept of Rik's patches are implemened on top then scanning then the free
scanner barely changed but migrate scanning was further reduced.  That
said, tests on 3.6-rc5 indicated that the last patch had greater impact
than what was measured here so it is a bit variable.

One way or the other, this series has a large impact on the amount of
scanning compaction does when there is a storm of THP allocations.

This patch:

Compaction's migrate scanner acquires the zone->lru_lock when scanning a
range of pages looking for LRU pages to acquire.  It does this even if
there are no LRU pages in the range.  If multiple processes are compacting
then this can cause severe locking contention.  To make matters worse
commit b2eef8c0 ("mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration") releases the lru_lock every
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that are scanned.

This patch makes two changes to how the migrate scanner acquires the LRU
lock.  First, it only releases the LRU lock every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages
if the lock is contended.  This reduces the number of times it
unnecessarily disables and re-enables IRQs.  The second is that it defers
acquiring the LRU lock for as long as possible.  If there are no LRU pages
or the only LRU pages are transhuge then the LRU lock will not be acquired
at all which reduces contention on zone->lru_lock.

11 years agoreadahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection

readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection

.fault now can retry.  The retry can break state machine of .fault.  In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased.  In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased.  And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.

Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once.  In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing.  The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.

I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
archs is obvious, but who knows :)

11 years agomemory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing
Minchan Kim [Mon, 8 Oct 2012 23:32:16 +0000 (16:32 -0700)]
memory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing

If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline
happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the
pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.

The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock.  If it is detected, now EBUSY gets
bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails.

But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move
the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected.  It could
enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is
really rare.

Suggested by Mel Gorman.

memory-hotplug: bug fix race between isolation and allocation

Like below, memory-hotplug makes race between page-isolation
and page-allocation so it can hit BUG_ON in __offline_isolated_pages.

CPU A CPU B

start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
spin_lock_irqsave(zone->lock)

free_hot_cold_page(Page A)
/* without zone->lock */
migratetype = get_pageblock_migratetype(Page A);
/*
 * Page could be moved into MIGRATE_MOVABLE
 * of per_cpu_pages
 */
list_add_tail(&page->lru, &pcp->lists[migratetype]);

set_pageblock_isolate
move_freepages_block
drain_all_pages

/* Page A could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list. */

check_pages_isolated
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock
/*
 * We can't catch freed page which
 * is free_list[MIGRATE_MOVABLE]
 */
if (PageBuddy(page A))
pfn += 1 << page_order(page A);

/* So, Page A could be allocated */

__offline_isolated_pages
/*
 * BUG_ON hit or offline page
 * which is used by someone
 */
BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page A));

This patch checks page's migratetype in freelist in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock.  So now
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock can check the page caused by above race
and can fail of memory offlining.

mm: remain migratetype in freed page

The page allocator caches the pageblock information in page->private while
it is in the PCP freelists but this is overwritten with the order of the
page when freed to the buddy allocator.  This patch stores the migratetype
of the page in the page->index field so that it is available at all times
when the page remain in free_list.

This patch adds a new call site in __free_pages_ok so it might be overhead
a bit but it's for high order allocation.  So I believe damage isn't hurt.
