From e25d7d1359d363fad21050c9ec8ff66e220e971e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 15:46:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hwpoison, memcg: forcibly uncharge LRU pages Laurent Dufour has noticed that hwpoinsoned pages are kept charged. In his particular case he has hit a bad_page("page still charged to cgroup") when onlining a hwpoison page. While this looks like something that shouldn't happen in the first place because onlining hwpages and returning them to the page allocator makes only little sense it shows a real problem. hwpoison pages do not get freed usually so we do not uncharge them (at least not since commit 5d073237219a ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API")). Each charge pins memcg (since 589e82bfa400 ("mm: memcontrol: take a css reference for each charged page")) as well and so the mem_cgroup and the associated state will never go away. Fix this leak by forcibly uncharging a LRU hwpoisoned page in delete_from_lru_cache(). We also have to tweak uncharge_list because it cannot rely on zero ref count for these pages.
