From 43edfc892e926ffa364f591dea27729ff4a60f3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laura Abbott Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:01:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] FROMLIST: fs/buffer.c: Revoke LRU when trying to drop buffers When a buffer is added to the LRU list, a reference is taken which is not dropped until the buffer is evicted from the LRU list. This is the correct behavior, however this LRU reference will prevent the buffer from being dropped. This means that the buffer can't actually be dropped until it is selected for eviction. There's no bound on the time spent on the LRU list, which means that the buffer may be undroppable for very long periods of time. Given that migration involves dropping buffers, the associated page is now unmigratible for long periods of time as well. CMA relies on being able to migrate a specific range of pages, so these types of failures make CMA significantly less reliable, especially under high filesystem usage. Rather than waiting for the LRU algorithm to eventually kick out the buffer, explicitly remove the buffer from the LRU list when trying to drop it. There is still the possibility that the buffer could be added back on the list, but that indicates the buffer is still in use and would probably have other 'in use' indicates to prevent dropping. Note: a bug reported by "kernel test robot" lead to a switch from using xas_for_each() to xa_for_each().
