Subject: mm: thp: give transparent hugepage code a separate copy_page()
Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
So, yay for code reuse. But:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate(). This works 99% of the time
because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order alone.
Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs page
order, it works.
But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
(say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate so
page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast since
copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
...
This patch creates a copy_high_order_page() which can
be used on THP pages.
I believe the bug was introduced in b32967ff101:
