mm: thp: introduce separate TTU flag for thp freezing
TTU_MIGRATION is used to convert pte into migration entry until thp split completes. This behavior conflicts with thp migration added later patches, so let's introduce a new TTU flag specifically for freezing. try_to_unmap() is used both for thp split (via freeze_page()) and page migration (via __unmap_and_move()). In freeze_page(), ttu_flag given for head page is like below (assuming anonymous thp): (TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS | TTU_RMAP_LOCKED | \ TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD) and ttu_flag given for tail pages is: (TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS | TTU_RMAP_LOCKED | \ TTU_MIGRATION) __unmap_and_move() calls try_to_unmap() with ttu_flag: (TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) Now I'm trying to insert a branch for thp migration at the top of try_to_unmap_one() like below static int try_to_unmap_one(struct page *page, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, void *arg) { ... /* PMD-mapped THP migration entry */ if (!pvmw.pte && (flags & TTU_MIGRATION)) { if (!PageAnon(page)) continue; set_pmd_migration_entry(&pvmw, page); continue; } ... } so try_to_unmap() for tail pages called by thp split can go into thp migration code path (which converts *pmd* into migration entry), while the expectation is to freeze thp (which converts *pte* into migration entry.) I detected this failure as a "bad page state" error in a testcase where split_huge_page() is called from queue_pages_pte_range().
