SubjectRe: [PATCH -V3 1/8] migrate: fix syscall move_pages() return value for failure

Hi Huang, Alistair,

I've noticed that this patch from Huang has caused the mm/migration selftest (authored by Alistair) to start failing (see bisection log below).

Of the 3 tests, migration.private_anon and migration.private_anon_thp continue to pass, but migration.shared_anon fails:


# RUN migration.shared_anon ...
Didn't migrate 1 pages
# migration.c:167:shared_anon:Expected migrate(ptr, self->n1, self->n2) (-2) == 0 (0)
# shared_anon: Test terminated by assertion
# FAIL migration.shared_anon
not ok 2 migration.shared_anon


The failure occurs due to the return code of move_pages() and this patch has changed the return code handling in the kernel, so it makes sense:


int migrate(uint64_t *ptr, int n1, int n2)
{
int ret, tmp;
int status = 0;
struct timespec ts1, ts2;

if (clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts1))
return -1;

while (1) {
if (clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts2))
return -1;

if (ts2.tv_sec - ts1.tv_sec >= RUNTIME)
return 0;

ret = move_pages(0, 1, (void **) &ptr, &n2, &status,
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL);
if (ret) {
if (ret > 0)
printf("Didn't migrate %d pages\n", ret); <<<< HERE
else
perror("Couldn't migrate pages");
return -2;
}

tmp = n2;
n2 = n1;
n1 = tmp;
}

return 0;
}


I haven't looked any further and am not sure what the correct fix is. I wondered if either you might be able to offer a solution?

Thanks,
Ryan
