Subject: [PATCH] thp: fix PARAVIRT x86 32bit noPAE
Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2011 03:12:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110122021226.GQ9506@random.random> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110121191757.GO9506@random.random>
I reproduced your 32bit x86 problem with an initramfs with a hugepage
benchmark placed as /init inside KVM (not exactly an extensive test
but it was trivial to reproduce). I tested below fix with HIGHMEM4G
and HIGHMEM64G with PARAVIRT=y (and verified setting PARAVIRT=n fixed
it, in other email Minchan also verified that setting HIGHMEM64G=y
also fixed it, to confirm my theory the problem was the below #ifdef).
The stress test reaches exit() successfully now (before the fix it
crashed in out_of_memory() instead of do_exit as expected):
NMI watchdog disabled for cpu0: unable to create perf event: -2

This fixes TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y with PARAVIRT=y and HIGHMEM64=n.
The #ifdef that this patch removes was erratically introduced to fix a build
error for noPAE (where pmd.pmd doesn't exist). So then the kernel built but it
failed at runtime because set_pmd_at was a noop. This will correct it by
enabling set_pmd_at for noPAE mode too.
