Subject: [PATCH -next] mm/compaction: no stuck in __reset_isolation_pfn()
Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2019 22:47:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190206034732.75687-1-cai@lca.pw> (raw)
The commit c68d77911c23 ("mm, compaction: be selective about what
pageblocks to clear skip hints") introduced an infinite loop if a pfn is
invalid, it will loop again without increasing page counters. It can be
reproduced by running LTP tests on an arm64 server.

Congratulation, likely test hit a kernel bug.
Also, triggers soft lockups.
