Subject: Warning on isolate tail page in isolate_lru_page
Date: Thu, 19 May 2022 08:58:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d927a335-a70b-48d3-9645-1d33cc88bd9c@huawei.com> (raw)


Hi

Recently I receive a warning in isolate_lru_page() reported by syzkaller.
This warning occurred in linux-v5.10 and can't be be reproduced.

The following two commits are the major changes since v5.10:

Commit ac1e9acc5acf ("mm: rearrange madvise code to allow for reuse") refactor
do_madvise in master and lead to call madvise_vma_behavior() instead of
madvise_vma(). For page out these is no difference because both all them will
call madvise_pageout() int the end.

Commit a72afd873089 ("tlb: mmu_gather: Remove start/end arguments from tlb_gather_mmu()")
remove start/end arguments from tlb_gather_mmu in madvise_pageout() since they
are no longer needed.

Warn msg "trying to isolate tail page" will be reported in isolate_lru_page()
if this page is a tail page.

However, if this page is a tail page, it will be split in
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(). Read lock mmap_read_lock(mm) is hold since
do_madvise() so no one can modify this. So the only reason I can image is
that something is wrong in split_huge_page().

do_madvise
     mmap_read_lock(mm);
         madvise_pageout
             madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range
                 split_huge_page(page) <-- split this huge page
                 isolate_lru_page(page)
                     WARN_RATELIMIT(PageTail(page), "trying to isolate tail page");

The warning log is shown below:

I have no idea how to fix this warning, so is there anything else need to
analysis that I haven't considered?

Thanks.
