2014-01-31mm: slub: work around unneeded lockdep warningDave Hansen
The slub code does some setup during early boot in early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() with some local data. There is no possible way that another CPU can see this data, so the slub code doesn't unnecessarily lock it. However, some new lockdep asserts check to make sure that add_partial() _always_ has the list_lock held. Just add the locking, even though it is technically unnecessary.

2014-01-31memcg: fix mutex not unlocked on memcg_create_kmem_cache fail pathVladimir Davydov
Commit 842e2873697e ("memcg: get rid of kmem_cache_dup()") introduced a mutex for memcg_create_kmem_cache() to protect the tmp_name buffer that holds the memcg name. It failed to unlock the mutex if this buffer could not be allocated. This patch fixes the issue by appropriately unlocking the mutex if the allocation fails.

2014-01-31mm, oom: base root bonus on current usageDavid Rientjes
A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to other processes. With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G fork bomb member. The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task individually_ during OOM selection. Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage bonus. By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size, they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing agetty because it's first in the task list.

2014-01-31mm/slub.c: fix page->_count corruption (again)Dave Hansen
Commit abca7c496584 ("mm: fix slab->page _count corruption when using slub") notes that we can not _set_ a page->counters directly, except when using a real double-cmpxchg. Doing so can lose updates to ->_count. That is an absolute rule: You may not *set* page->counters except via a cmpxchg. Commit abca7c496584 fixed this for the folks who have the slub cmpxchg_double code turned off at compile time, but it left the bad case alone. It can still be reached, and the same bug triggered in two cases: 1. Turning on slub debugging at runtime, which is available on the distro kernels that I looked at. 2. On 64-bit CPUs with no CMPXCHG16B (some early AMD x86-64 cpus, evidently) There are at least 3 ways we could fix this: 1. Take all of the exising calls to cmpxchg_double_slab() and __cmpxchg_double_slab() and convert them to take an old, new and target 'struct page'. 2. Do (1), but with the newly-introduced 'slub_data'. 3. Do some magic inside the two cmpxchg...slab() functions to pull the counters out of new_counters and only set those fields in page->{inuse,frozen,objects}. I've done (2) as well, but it's a bunch more code. This patch is an attempt at (3). This was the most straightforward and foolproof way that I could think to do this. This would also technically allow us to get rid of the ugly #if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE) && \ defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE) in 'struct page', but leaving it alone has the added benefit that 'counters' stays 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned long', so all the copies that the slub code does stay a bit smaller.

As a result of commit 5606e3877ad8 ("mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy"), /proc/<pid>/numa_maps prints the mempolicy for any <pid> as "prefer:N" for the local node, N, of the process reading the file.

2014-01-31zsmalloc: move it under mmMinchan Kim
This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory. Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom allocator. Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations. zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to achieve these design goals. zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or "size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory pressure. Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage. This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size, the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover space. This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being directly addressable by the user. The user is given an non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages. The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly [sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com: borrow Seth's quote] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Cc: Bob Liu <bob.liu@oracle.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Luigi Semenzato <semenzato@google.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2014-01-30mm/readahead.c: fix do_readahead() for no readpage(s)Mark Rutland
Commit 63d0f0a3c7e1 ("mm/readahead.c:do_readhead(): don't check for ->readpage") unintentionally made do_readahead return 0 for all valid files regardless of whether readahead was supported, rather than the expected -EINVAL. This gets forwarded on to userspace, and results in sys_readahead appearing to succeed in cases that don't make sense (e.g. when called on pipes or sockets). This issue is detected by the LTP readahead01 testcase. As the exact return value of force_page_cache_readahead is currently never used, we can simplify it to return only 0 or -EINVAL (when readpage or readpages is missing). With that in place we can simply forward on the return value of force_page_cache_readahead in do_readahead. This patch performs said change, restoring the expected semantics.

Commit 309381feaee5 ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") added a bunch of VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls. But, most of the ones in the slub code are for _temporary_ 'struct page's which are declared on the stack and likely have lots of gunk in them. Dumping their contents out will just confuse folks looking at bad_page() output. Plus, if we try to page_to_pfn() on them or soemthing, we'll probably oops anyway. Turn them back in to VM_BUG_ON()s.

2014-01-30slab: fix wrong retval on kmem_cache_create_memcg error pathDave Jones
On kmem_cache_create_memcg() error path we set 'err', but leave 's' (the new cache ptr) undefined. The latter can be NULL if we could not allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere later while trying to initialize it. Initially we checked 'err' immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set ignoring the value of 's': out_unlock: ... if (err) { /* report error */ return NULL; } return s; Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3abb5e ("slab: do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to: out_unlock: ... if (err && !memcg) { /* report error */ return NULL; } return s; As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap. Obviously, commit f717eb3abb5e intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the check should look like this: out_unlock: ... if (err) { if (!memcg) return NULL; /* report error */ return NULL; } return s; [rientjes@google.com: despaghettification] [vdavydov@parallels.com: patch monkeying] Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2014-01-30mm/page-writeback.c: do not count anon pages as dirtyable memoryJohannes Weiner
The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping. Whether that is good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied. A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem. In that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large portion of the cache pages to be dirtied. As kswapd starts rotating these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO. Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

2014-01-30mm/page-writeback.c: fix dirty_balance_reserve subtraction from dirtyable memoryJohannes Weiner
Tejun reported stuttering and latency spikes on a system where random tasks would enter direct reclaim and get stuck on dirty pages. Around 50% of memory was occupied by tmpfs backed by an SSD, and another disk (rotating) was reading and writing at max speed to shrink a partition. : The problem was pretty ridiculous. It's a 8gig machine w/ one ssd and 10k : rpm harddrive and I could reliably reproduce constant stuttering every : several seconds for as long as buffered IO was going on on the hard drive : either with tmpfs occupying somewhere above 4gig or a test program which : allocates about the same amount of anon memory. Although swap usage was : zero, turning off swap also made the problem go away too. : : The trigger conditions seem quite plausible - high anon memory usage w/ : heavy buffered IO and swap configured - and it's highly likely that this : is happening in the wild too. (this can happen with copying large files : to usb sticks too, right?) This patch (of 2): The dirty_balance_reserve is an approximation of the fraction of free pages that the page allocator does not make available for page cache allocations. As a result, it has to be taken into account when calculating the amount of "dirtyable memory", the baseline to which dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied. However, currently the reserve is subtracted from the sum of free and reclaimable pages, which is non-sensical and leads to erroneous results when the system is dominated by unreclaimable pages and the dirty_balance_reserve is bigger than free+reclaimable. In that case, at least the already allocated cache should be considered dirtyable. Fix the calculation by subtracting the reserve from the amount of free pages, then adding the reclaimable pages on top.

We could use core_initcall(), and depend upon Makefile link order kernel/ mm/ fs/ ipc/ security/ ... as core_initcall(debugfs_init) and core_initcall(securityfs_init) do; but better not.

2014-01-28Revert "mm/vmalloc: interchage the implementation of vmalloc_to_{pfn,page}"malc
Revert commit ece86e222db4, which was intended as a small performance improvement. Despite the claim that the patch doesn't introduce any functional changes in fact it does. The "no page" path behaves different now. Originally, vmalloc_to_page might return NULL under some conditions, with new implementation it returns pfn_to_page(0) which is not the same as NULL. Simple test shows the difference. test.c #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/vmalloc.h> #include <linux/mm.h> int __init myi(void) { struct page *p; void *v; v = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE); /* trigger the "no page" path in vmalloc_to_page*/ vfree(v); p = vmalloc_to_page(v); pr_err("expected val = NULL, returned val = %p", p); return -EBUSY; } void __exit mye(void) { } module_init(myi) module_exit(mye) Before interchange: expected val = NULL, returned val = (null) After interchange: expected val = NULL, returned val = c7ebe000 Signed-off-by: Vladimir Murzin <murzin.v@gmail.com> Cc: Jianyu Zhan <nasa4836@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2014-01-26Fix race when checking i_size on direct i/o readSteven Whitehouse
So far I've had one ACK for this, and no other comments. So I think it is probably time to send this via some suitable tree. I'm guessing that the vfs tree would be the most appropriate route, but not sure that there is one at the moment (don't see anything recent at kernel.org) so in that case I think -mm is the "back up plan". Al, please let me know if you will take this? Steve. --------------------- Following on from the "Re: [PATCH v3] vfs: fix a bug when we do some dio reads with append dio writes" thread on linux-fsdevel, this patch is my current version of the fix proposed as option (b) in that thread. Removing the i_size test from the direct i/o read path at vfs level means that filesystems now have to deal with requests which are beyond i_size themselves. These I've divided into three sets: a) Those with "no op" ->direct_IO (9p, cifs, ceph) These are obviously not going to be an issue b) Those with "home brew" ->direct_IO (nfs, fuse) I've been told that NFS should not have any problem with the larger i_size, however I've added an extra test to FUSE to duplicate the original behaviour just to be on the safe side. c) Those using __blockdev_direct_IO() These call through to ->get_block() which should deal with the EOF condition correctly. I've verified that with GFS2 and I believe that Zheng has verified it for ext4. I've also run the test on XFS and it passes both before and after this change. The part of the patch in filemap.c looks a lot larger than it really is - there are only two lines of real change. The rest is just indentation of the contained code. There remains a test of i_size though, which was added for btrfs. It doesn't cause the other filesystems a problem as the test is performed after ->direct_IO has been called. It is possible that there is a race that does matter to btrfs, however this patch doesn't change that, so its still an overall improvement.

The VM_SOFTDIRTY bit affects vma merge routine: if two VMAs has all bits in vm_flags matched except dirty bit the kernel can't longer merge them and this forces the kernel to generate new VMAs instead. It finally may lead to the situation when userspace application reaches vm.max_map_count limit and get crashed in worse case | (gimp:11768): GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:110: failed to allocate 4096 bytes | | (file-tiff-load:12038): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: file-tiff-load: gimp_wire_read(): error | xinit: connection to X server lost | | waiting for X server to shut down | /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-tiff-load terminated: Hangup | /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu terminated: Hangup | /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu terminated: Hangup https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67651 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719619#c0 Initial problem came from missed VM_SOFTDIRTY in do_brk() routine but even if we would set up VM_SOFTDIRTY here, there is still a way to prevent VMAs from merging: one can call | echo 4 > /proc/$PID/clear_refs and clear all VM_SOFTDIRTY over all VMAs presented in memory map, then new do_brk() will try to extend old VMA and finds that dirty bit doesn't match thus new VMA will be generated. As discussed with Pavel, the right approach should be to ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY bit when we're trying to merge VMAs and if merge successed we mark extended VMA with dirty bit where needed.

2014-01-24memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iterMichal Hocko
Commit 19f39402864e ("memcg: simplify mem_cgroup_iter") has reorganized mem_cgroup_iter code in order to simplify it. A part of that change was dropping an optimization which didn't call css_tryget on the root of the walked tree. The patch however didn't change the css_put part in mem_cgroup_iter which excludes root. This wasn't an issue at the time because __mem_cgroup_iter_next bailed out for root early without taking a reference as cgroup iterators (css_next_descendant_pre) didn't visit root themselves. Nevertheless cgroup iterators have been reworked to visit root by commit bd8815a6d802 ("cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iteration") when the root bypass have been dropped in __mem_cgroup_iter_next. This means that css_put is not called for root and so css along with mem_cgroup and other cgroup internal object tied by css lifetime are never freed. Fix the issue by reintroducing root check in __mem_cgroup_iter_next and do not take css reference for it. This reference counting magic protects us also from another issue, an endless loop reported by Hugh Dickins when reclaim races with root removal and css_tryget called by iterator internally would fail. There would be no other nodes to visit so __mem_cgroup_iter_next would return NULL and mem_cgroup_iter would interpret it as "start looping from root again" and so mem_cgroup_iter would loop forever internally.

This patch fixes the issue by skipping css_tryget on the root of the tree walk in mem_cgroup_iter_load and symmetrically doesn't release it in mem_cgroup_iter_update.

2014-01-24mm: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core codePaul Gortmaker
Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: mm/ksm.c bool KSM mm/mmap.c bool MMU mm/huge_memory.c bool TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE mm/mmu_notifier.c bool MMU_NOTIFIER Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at some actual init functions themselves, we see things like: mm/huge_memory.c --> hugepage_init --> hugepage_init_sysfs mm/mmap.c --> init_user_reserve --> sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes mm/ksm.c --> ksm_init --> sysfs_create_group and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable, and at the same time minimizes the risk of changing the priority too drastically all at once. We can adjust further in the future. Also, several instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

2014-01-24mm/mm_init.c: make creation of the mm_kobj happen earlier than device_initcallPaul Gortmaker
The use of __initcall is to be eventually replaced by choosing one from the prioritized groupings laid out in init.h header: pure_initcall 0 core_initcall 1 postcore_initcall 2 arch_initcall 3 subsys_initcall 4 fs_initcall 5 device_initcall 6 late_initcall 7 In the interim, all __initcall are mapped onto device_initcall, which as can be seen above, comes quite late in the ordering. Currently the mm_kobj is created with __initcall in mm_sysfs_init(). This means that any other initcalls that want to reference the mm_kobj have to be device_initcall (or later), otherwise we will for example, trip the BUG_ON(!kobj) in sysfs's internal_create_group(). This unfairly restricts those users; for example something that clearly makes sense to be an arch_initcall will not be able to choose that. However, upon examination, it is only this way for historical reasons (i.e. simply not reprioritized yet). We see that sysfs is ready quite earlier in init/main.c via: vfs_caches_init |_ mnt_init |_ sysfs_init well ahead of the processing of the prioritized calls listed above. So we can recategorize mm_sysfs_init to be a pure_initcall, which in turn allows any mm_kobj initcall users a wider range (1 --> 7) of initcall priorities to choose from.

2014-01-24mm/memory_hotplug.c: move register_memory_resource out of the ↵Nathan Zimmer
lock_memory_hotplug We don't need to do register_memory_resource() under lock_memory_hotplug() since it has its own lock and doesn't make any callbacks. Also register_memory_resource return NULL on failure so we don't have anything to cleanup at this point. The reason for this rfc is I was doing some experiments with hotplugging of memory on some of our larger systems. While it seems to work, it can be quite slow. With some preliminary digging I found that lock_memory_hotplug is clearly ripe for breakup. It could be broken up per nid or something but it also covers the online_page_callback. The online_page_callback shouldn't be very hard to break out. Also there is the issue of various structures(wmarks come to mind) that are only updated under the lock_memory_hotplug that would need to be dealt with.

2014-01-24mm: vmscan: shrink all slab objects if tight on memoryVladimir Davydov
When reclaiming kmem, we currently don't scan slabs that have less than batch_size objects (see shrink_slab_node()): while (total_scan >= batch_size) { shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = batch_size; shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl); total_scan -= batch_size; } If there are only a few shrinkers available, such a behavior won't cause any problems, because the batch_size is usually small, but if we have a lot of slab shrinkers, which is perfectly possible since FS shrinkers are now per-superblock, we can end up with hundreds of megabytes of practically unreclaimable kmem objects. For instance, mounting a thousand of ext2 FS images with a hundred of files in each and iterating over all the files using du(1) will result in about 200 Mb of FS caches that cannot be dropped even with the aid of the vm.drop_caches sysctl! This problem was initially pointed out by Glauber Costa [*]. Glauber proposed to fix it by making the shrink_slab() always take at least one pass, to put it simply, turning the scan loop above to a do{}while() loop. However, this proposal was rejected, because it could result in more aggressive and frequent slab shrinking even under low memory pressure when total_scan is naturally very small. This patch is a slightly modified version of Glauber's approach. Similarly to Glauber's patch, it makes shrink_slab() scan less than batch_size objects, but only if the total number of objects we want to scan (total_scan) is greater than the total number of objects available (max_pass). Since total_scan is biased as half max_pass if the current delta change is small: if (delta < max_pass / 4) total_scan = min(total_scan, max_pass / 2); this is only possible if we are scanning at high prio. That said, this patch shouldn't change the vmscan behaviour if the memory pressure is low, but if we are tight on memory, we will do our best by trying to reclaim all available objects, which sounds reasonable.

Changing proc_dointvec() to proc_dointvec_minmax() in the min_free_kbytes_sysctl_handler() can prevent this to happen. mhocko said: : You can still do echo $BIG_VALUE > /proc/vm/sys/min_free_kbytes and make : your machine unusable but I agree that proc_dointvec_minmax is more : suitable here as we already have: : : .proc_handler = min_free_kbytes_sysctl_handler, : .extra1 = &zero, : : It used to work properly but then 6fce56ec91b5 ("sysctl: Remove references : to ctl_name and strategy from the generic sysctl table") has removed : sysctl_intvec strategy and so extra1 is ignored.

2014-01-24mm: new_vma_page() cannot see NULL vma for hugetlb pagesMichal Hocko
Commit 11c731e81bb0 ("mm/mempolicy: fix !vma in new_vma_page()") has removed BUG_ON(!vma) from new_vma_page which is partially correct because page_address_in_vma will return EFAULT for non-linear mappings and at least shared shmem might be mapped this way. The patch also tried to prevent NULL ptr for hugetlb pages which is not correct AFAICS because hugetlb pages cannot be mapped as VM_NONLINEAR and other conditions in page_address_in_vma seem to be legit and catch real bugs. This patch restores BUG_ON for PageHuge to catch potential issues when the to-be-migrated page is not setup properly.

2014-01-24mm/memory-failure.c: shift page lock from head page to tail page after thp splitNaoya Horiguchi
After thp split in hwpoison_user_mappings(), we hold page lock on the raw error page only between try_to_unmap, hence we are in danger of race condition. I found in the RHEL7 MCE-relay testing that we have "bad page" error when a memory error happens on a thp tail page used by qemu-kvm: Triggering MCE exception on CPU 10 mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged MCE exception done on CPU 10 MCE 0x38c535: Killing qemu-kvm:8418 due to hardware memory corruption MCE 0x38c535: dirty LRU page recovery: Recovered qemu-kvm[8418]: segfault at 20 ip 00007ffb0f0f229a sp 00007fffd6bc5240 error 4 in qemu-kvm[7ffb0ef14000+420000] BUG: Bad page state in process qemu-kvm pfn:38c400 page:ffffea000e310000 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x7ffae3c00 page flags: 0x2fffff0008001d(locked|referenced|uptodate|dirty|swapbacked) Modules linked in: hwpoison_inject mce_inject vhost_net macvtap macvlan ...

This strange page fault is trying to access to address 0x20 and I'm not sure why qemu-kvm does this, but anyway as a result the SIGSEGV makes qemu-kvm exit and on the way we catch the bad page bug/warning because we try to free a locked page (which was the former head page.) To fix this, this patch suggests to shift page lock from head page to tail page just after thp split. SIGSEGV still happens, but it affects only error affected VMs, not a whole system.
