Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] mm: fix oom-killer not being invoked when demotion is enabled
Date: Thu,  8 Jan 2026 19:15:32 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108101535.50696-1-akinobu.mita@gmail.com> (raw)

On systems with multiple memory-tiers consisting of DRAM and CXL memory,
the OOM killer is not invoked properly.

This patchset includes a fix for the issue and an enhancement that makes
the issue reproducible with numa emulation.

v3:
- rebase to linux-next (next-20260108), where demotion target has changed
  from node id to node mask.

v2:
- fix the explanation about cmdline parameter in the commit log
- add document for NUMA emulation
- describe reproducibility with !mglru in the commit log
- removed unnecessary consideration for scan control when checking demotion_nid watermarks

v1:
- https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20251208094028.214949-1-akinobu.mita@gmail.com/T/

  mm: memory-tiers, numa_emu: enable to create memory tiers using fake
    numa nodes
  mm: numa_emu: add document for NUMA emulation
  mm/vmscan: don't demote if there is not enough free memory in the
    lower memory tier
