Hello,
Worked on a modified version of the following selftest
test case in the kernel source.
tools/testing/selftests/vm/hugepage-mmap.c
This modified test will try to do the following sequence of
events in the same order.
(1) Allocate 16 Huge TLB pages (16MB each) through mmap
(2) mlock() the entire range of 256MB memory
(3) Fetch PFN from /proc/self/pagemap for each huge TLB page
starting address present in the 256MB range
(4) Convert each PFN into PA as PFN << PAGE_SHIFT which is then
written into /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page
(5) unmap() the 256MB memory range
(6) unlink() the file (inside the hugetlbfs mount path) used for mmap
The soft offline page attempts fail as expected as we dont support that on
POWER yet.

But interestingly the test thread hangs for good after that. We can see this
soft lock up message in the console.

Then the entire system hangs for good, requiring a reboot. The problem can be
recreated
without unlink() step if we just try to unmount the hugetlbfs afterwards. I am
still
looking into this problem. Please do let me know if you have any
suggestions/thoughts
or comments about this issue.
