      mm: stop leaking PageTables · b0b9b3df
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, and even without THPCache) fails with
      "fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo shows
      PageTables growing.
      
      Commit 953c66c2 ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") that got
      merged in rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable
      after do_fault_around() has called map_pages().
      
      This is usually a good optimization, so that the followup doesn't have
      to reallocate one; but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into
      alloc_set_pte(), since there are failure cases (most commonly
      VM_FAULT_RETRY) which never reach finish_fault().
      
      Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't need
      to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was (I
      cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing).
      
      And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same
      change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s
      failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited
      one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte?
      Residue of an earlier implementation, perhaps? Delete it.
