[PATCH 3.10 19/56] vmscan: fix increasing nr_isolated incurred by putback unevictable pages

Show all headers | View raw

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jaewon Kim <jaewon31.kim@samsung.com>

commit c54839a722a02818677bcabe57e957f0ce4f841d upstream.

reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() assumes that shrink_page_list() returns
number of pages removed from the candidate list.  But shrink_page_list()
puts back mlocked pages without passing it to caller and without
counting as nr_reclaimed.  This increases nr_isolated.

To fix this, this patch changes shrink_page_list() to pass unevictable
pages back to caller.  Caller will take care those pages.

Minchan said:

It fixes two issues.

1. With unevictable page, cma_alloc will be successful.

Exactly speaking, cma_alloc of current kernel will fail due to
unevictable pages.

2. fix leaking of NR_ISOLATED counter of vmstat

With it, too_many_isolated works.  Otherwise, it could make hang until
the process get SIGKILL.
