From: Huang Ying <ying.hu...@intel.com>
commit 1a5f439c7c02837d943e528d46501564d4226757 upstream.
0-Day test system reported some OOM regressions for several THP
(Transparent Huge Page) swap test cases. These regressions are bisected
to 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256"). In the
commit, BIO_MAX_PAGES is set to 256 even when THP swap is enabled. So the
bio_alloc(gfp_flags, 512) in get_swap_bio() may fail when swapping out
THP. That causes the OOM.
As in the patch description of 6861428921b5 ("block: always define
BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256"), THP swap should use multi-page bvec to write THP
to swap space. So the issue is fixed via doing that in get_swap_bio().
BTW: I remember I have checked the THP swap code when 6861428921b5
("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256") was merged, and thought the
THP swap code needn't to be changed. But apparently, I was wrong. I
should have done this at that time.
