mm, thp: use head page in __migration_entry_wait()
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.47 commit 32f954e961caf658bc7b5c83e7d213169595e15d bugzilla: 172973 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DAKB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=32f954e961caf658bc7b5c83e7d213169595e15d -------------------------------- commit ffc90cbb upstream. We notice that hung task happens in a corner but practical scenario when CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is enabled, as follows. Process 0 Process 1 Process 2..Inf split_huge_page_to_list unmap_page split_huge_pmd_address __migration_entry_wait(head) __migration_entry_wait(tail) remap_page (roll back) remove_migration_ptes rmap_walk_anon cond_resched Where __migration_entry_wait(tail) is occurred in kernel space, e.g., copy_to_user in fstat, which will immediately fault again without rescheduling, and thus occupy the cpu fully. When there are too many processes performing __migration_entry_wait on tail page, remap_page will never be done after cond_resched. This makes __migration_entry_wait operate on the compound head page, thus waits for remap_page to complete, whether the THP is split successfully or roll back. Note that put_and_wait_on_page_locked helps to drop the page reference acquired with get_page_unless_zero, as soon as the page is on the wait queue, before actually waiting. So splitting the THP is only prevented for a brief interval.
