From: Hugh Dickins Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2017 23:37:31 +0000 (-0800) Subject: mm: stop leaking PageTables X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b0b9b3df27d100a975b4e8818f35382b64a5e35c;p=linux-beck.git mm: stop leaking PageTables 4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, and even without THPCache) fails with "fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo shows PageTables growing. Commit 953c66c2b22a ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") that got merged in rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable after do_fault_around() has called map_pages(). This is usually a good optimization, so that the followup doesn't have to reallocate one; but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into alloc_set_pte(), since there are failure cases (most commonly VM_FAULT_RETRY) which never reach finish_fault(). Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't need to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was (I cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing). And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte? Residue of an earlier implementation, perhaps? Delete it. Fixes: 953c66c2b22a ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") Cc: Aneesh Kumar K.V Cc: Kirill A.
