When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock. Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated. A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation avoidance in the long-term one page at a time. A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside of a pageblock which is not intended. While syzbot cannot be used to verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer triggers with this patch applied. It has also been confirmed that the THP allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
	zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))

Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock

mm, compaction: be selective about what pageblocks to clear skip hints 2019-03-06T05:07:17+00:00 Mel Gorman mgorman@techsingularity.net 2019-03-05T23:45:38+00:00 e332f741a8dd1ec9a6dc8aa997296ecbfe64323e Pageblock hints are cleared when compaction restarts or kswapd makes enough progress that it can sleep but it's over-eager in that the bit is cleared for migration sources with no LRU pages and migration targets with no free pages. As pageblock skip hint flushes are relatively rare and out-of-band with respect to kswapd, this patch makes a few more expensive checks to see if it's appropriate to even clear the bit. Every pageblock that is not cleared will avoid 512 pages being scanned unnecessarily on x86-64. The impact is variable with different workloads showing small differences in latency, success rates and scan rates. This is expected as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is generally a good thing.

unnecessarily on x86-64.

The impact is variable with different workloads showing small
differences in latency, success rates and scan rates.  This is expected
as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of
work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is
generally a good thing.

mm, compaction: sample pageblocks for free pages 2019-03-06T05:07:17+00:00 Mel Gorman mgorman@techsingularity.net 2019-03-05T23:45:34+00:00 4fca9730c51d51f643f2a3f8f10ebd718349c80f Once fast searching finishes, there is a possibility that the linear scanner is scanning full blocks found by the fast scanner earlier. This patch uses an adaptive stride to sample pageblocks for free pages. The more consecutive full pageblocks encountered, the larger the stride until a pageblock with free pages is found.
