CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but, unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we don't have any facility to analyze it. This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation. With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem. Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will print it as human readable string.) <...>-9018 [004] 92.678375: page_ref_set: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x0 count=1 mapcount=0 mapping=(nil) mt=4 val=1 <...>-9018 [004] 92.678378: kernel_stack: => get_page_from_freelist (ffffffff81176659) => __alloc_pages_nodemask (ffffffff81176d22) => alloc_pages_vma (ffffffff811bf675) => handle_mm_fault (ffffffff8119e693) => __do_page_fault (ffffffff810631ea) => trace_do_page_fault (ffffffff81063543) => do_async_page_fault (ffffffff8105c40a) => async_page_fault (ffffffff817581d8) [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 92.678379: page_ref_mod: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40048 count=2 mapcount=1 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=1 [snip] ... ... <...>-9131 [001] 93.174468: test_pages_isolated: start_pfn=0x17800 end_pfn=0x17c00 fin_pfn=0x17ac9 ret=fail [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 93.174843: page_ref_mod_and_test: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40068 count=0 mapcount=0 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=-1 ret=1 => release_pages (ffffffff8117c9e4) => free_pages_and_swap_cache (ffffffff811b0697) => tlb_flush_mmu_free (ffffffff81199616) => tlb_finish_mmu (ffffffff8119a62c) => exit_mmap (ffffffff811a53f7) => mmput (ffffffff81073f47) => do_exit (ffffffff810794e9) => do_group_exit (ffffffff81079def) => SyS_exit_group (ffffffff81079e74) => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff817560b6) This output shows that problem comes from exit path. In exit path, to improve performance, pages are not freed immediately. They are gathered and processed by batch. During this process, migration cannot be possible and CMA allocation is failed. This problem is hard to find without this page reference tracepoint facility.
