CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but, unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we don't have any facility to analyze it. This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation. With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem. Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will print it as human readable string.) <...>-9018 [004] 92.678375: page_ref_set: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x0 count=1 mapcount=0 mapping=(nil) mt=4 val=1 <...>-9018 [004] 92.678378: kernel_stack: => get_page_from_freelist (ffffffff81176659) => __alloc_pages_nodemask (ffffffff81176d22) => alloc_pages_vma (ffffffff811bf675) => handle_mm_fault (ffffffff8119e693) => __do_page_fault (ffffffff810631ea) => trace_do_page_fault (ffffffff81063543) => do_async_page_fault (ffffffff8105c40a) => async_page_fault (ffffffff817581d8) [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 92.678379: page_ref_mod: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40048 count=2 mapcount=1 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=1 [snip] ... ... <...>-9131 [001] 93.174468: test_pages_isolated: start_pfn=0x17800 end_pfn=0x17c00 fin_pfn=0x17ac9 ret=fail [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 93.174843: page_ref_mod_and_test: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40068 count=0 mapcount=0 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=-1 ret=1 => release_pages (ffffffff8117c9e4) => free_pages_and_swap_cache (ffffffff811b0697) => tlb_flush_mmu_free (ffffffff81199616) => tlb_finish_mmu (ffffffff8119a62c) => exit_mmap (ffffffff811a53f7) => mmput (ffffffff81073f47) => do_exit (ffffffff810794e9) => do_group_exit (ffffffff81079def) => SyS_exit_group (ffffffff81079e74) => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff817560b6) This output shows that problem comes from exit path. In exit path, to improve performance, pages are not freed immediately. They are gathered and processed by batch. During this process, migration cannot be possible and CMA allocation is failed.

|
Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This
|
|
could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra
|
|
field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory
|
|
by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime
|
|
configuration.

Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
|
|
Depending on runtime enablement, this results in a small or large
|
|
slowdown, but helps to find certain types of memory corruption.
|
|
|
|
For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
|
|
fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
|
|
the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally,
|
|
this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
|
|
that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
|
|
a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.
|
|
|
|
By default this option will have a small overhead, e.g. by not
|
|
allowing the kernel mapping to be backed by large pages on some
|
|
architectures. Even bigger overhead comes when the debugging is
|
|
enabled by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT or the debug_pagealloc
|
|
command line parameter.

Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify

Skip the sanity checking on alloc, only fill the pages with

poison on free. This reduces some of the overhead of the
|
|
poisoning feature.

If you are only interested in sanitization, say Y. Otherwise

say N.

---help---
|
|
Instead of using the existing poison value, fill the pages with
|
|
zeros. This makes it harder to detect when errors are occurring
|
|
due to sanitization but the zeroing at free means that it is
|
|
no longer necessary to write zeros when GFP_ZERO is used on
|
|
allocation.

Enabling page poisoning with this option will disable hibernation

|

---help---
|
|
This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
|
|
manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
|
|
due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches. Be
|
|
careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
|
|
kernel code. However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
|
|
nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.
