Now Kernel crashes under some circumstances in swsusp_alloc()
because it hits BUG() in memory_bm_set_bit().
Kernel: Linux 4.1-rc3
HW: TI dra7-evm board, 2xARM Cortex-A15, 1.5G RAM
Swap: 2G swap partition on SD-card
Steps to reproduce:
- reserve 500M memory for CMA from command line: "cma=500M"
- configure image_size
# echo 1073741824 > sys/power/image_size
- enable swap
# swapon /dev/<swap partition>
- run memtester
# memtester 460M &
- [optional] disable console suspend
# echo 0 > sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend
- perform suspend to disk
# echo disk > sys/power/state

---[ end trace 61e3b86f908e4d7f ]---
As was investigated, the issue depends on following things:
1) Hibernation should follow through the below code path in
hibernate_preallocate_memory():
int hibernate_preallocate_memory(void)
{
[...]
/*
* If the desired number of image pages is at least as large as the
* current number of saveable pages in memory, allocate page frames for
* the image and we're done.
*/
if (size >= saveable) {
pages = preallocate_image_highmem(save_highmem);
pages += preallocate_image_memory(saveable - pages, avail_normal);
goto out;
}
2) Amount of memory reserved for CMA purposes. CMA memory reported as free
by MM, but Hibernation core can't use it. As result, All memory checks
are passed and system reaches later Hibernation stages, tries to create
Hibernation immage and, finally crashes in swsusp_alloc():
swsusp_alloc()
|- alloc_highmem_pages()
|- alloc_image_page(__GFP_HIGHMEM)
-- >"sh: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x2"
|- memory_bm_set_bit
|- BUG_ON(error)
3) alloc_page(__GFP_HIGHMEM) doesn't return Highmem pages always, instead
MM allocates pages from all available zones evenly. For example:
saveable pages 167191 = hmem 80400 + normal 86791
request hmem 80400
- alloc hmem 204
- alloc normal 161
- alloc hmem 442
...
- alloc normal 38615
- alloc hmem 41785
Such behaviour is not always handled properly. As result, swsusp_alloc(),
(from above example) will try to allocate (80400 - 41785) additional Highmem pages
without taking into account that those pages were allocated already,
but from Normal zone.
In this patch it is proposed to fix issue by rewriting swsusp_alloc()
in the following way:
- allocate Highmem buffer
- check if we need to allocate any memory at all
alloc_normal + alloc_highmem < nr_normal + nr_highmem
- calculate number of pages which still need to be allocated
nr_pages = nr_normal + nr_highmem - alloc_normal - alloc_highmem
- try to allocate Highmem first, but no more than nr_pages
- try to get rest from Normal memory
- abort if not all pages were allocated
And also use preallocate_image_pages() instead of alloc_highmem_pages() and
alloc_image_page(). This way, allocated pages will be accounted properly
in alloc_highmem and alloc_normal counters.
alloc_highmem_pages() isn't used any more after this patch and so removed.

Hi All,
I've tested this patch with both CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y/n.
This patch marked as RFC, because:
- I'm not expert in MM, so there could be other, more simple ways
to fix it. Also, I'm not sure that I've described Item 2 correctly.
(fair zone allocator policy?!)
- preallocate_image_highmem() and preallocate_image_memory()
could be used instead of preallocate_image_pages(), potentially.
Thanks for any comments.
