[PATCH v4] mm/hotplug: treat CMA pages as unmovable

From: Qian Cai
Date: Tue Apr 16 2019 - 13:05:55 EST


has_unmovable_pages() is used by allocating CMA and gigantic pages as
well as the memory hotplug. The later doesn't know how to offline CMA
pool properly now, but if an unused (free) CMA page is encountered, then
has_unmovable_pages() happily considers it as a free memory and
propagates this up the call chain. Memory offlining code then frees the
page without a proper CMA tear down which leads to an accounting issues.
Moreover if the same memory range is onlined again then the memory never
gets back to the CMA pool.

State after memory offline:
# grep cma /proc/vmstat
nr_free_cma 205824

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/cma/cma-kvm_cma/count
209920

Also, kmemleak still think those memory address are reserved below but
have already been used by the buddy allocator after onlining. This patch
fixes the situation by treating CMA pageblocks as unmovable except when
has_unmovable_pages() is called as part of CMA allocation.

v4: Use is_migrate_cma_page() and update the commit log per Vlastimil.
v3: Use a string pointer instead of an array per Michal.
v2: Borrow some commit log texts.
Call dump_page() in the error path.
