thp, mm: avoid PageUnevictable on active/inactive lru lists
active/inactive lru lists can contain unevicable pages (i.e. ramfs pages that have been placed on the LRU lists when first allocated), but these pages must not have PageUnevictable set - otherwise shrink_[in]active_list goes crazy: kernel BUG at /home/space/kas/git/public/linux-next/mm/vmscan.c:1122! 1090 static unsigned long isolate_lru_pages(unsigned long nr_to_scan, 1091 struct lruvec *lruvec, struct list_head *dst, 1092 unsigned long *nr_scanned, struct scan_control *sc, 1093 isolate_mode_t mode, enum lru_list lru) 1094 { ... 1108 switch (__isolate_lru_page(page, mode)) { 1109 case 0: ... 1116 case -EBUSY: ... 1121 default: 1122 BUG(); 1123 } 1124 } ... 1130 } __isolate_lru_page() returns EINVAL for PageUnevictable(page). For lru_add_page_tail(), it means we should not set PageUnevictable() for tail pages unless we're sure that it will go to LRU_UNEVICTABLE. Let's just copy PG_active and PG_unevictable from head page in __split_huge_page_refcount(), it will simplify lru_add_page_tail(). This will fix one more bug in lru_add_page_tail(): if page_evictable(page_tail) is false and PageLRU(page) is true, page_tail will go to the same lru as page, but nobody cares to sync page_tail active/inactive state with page. So we can end up with inactive page on active lru. The patch will fix it as well since we copy PG_active from head page. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
