Pages belonging to a page_pool (PP) instance must be freed through the PP APIs in-order to correctly release any DMA mappings and release refcnt on the DMA device when freeing PP instance. When PP release a page (page_pool_release_page) the page->pp_magic value is cleared. This patch detect a leaked PP page in free_page_is_bad() via unexpected state of page->pp_magic value being PP_SIGNATURE. We choose to report and treat it as a bad page. It would be possible to release the page via returning it to the PP instance as the page->pp pointer is likely still valid. Notice this code is only activated when either compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM or boot cmdline debug_pagealloc=on, and CONFIG_PAGE_POOL. Reduced example output of leak with PP_SIGNATURE = dead000000000040: BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/4 pfn:141fa6 page:000000006dbf8062 refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x141fa6000 pfn:0x141fa6 flags: 0x2fffff80000000(node=0|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1fffff) page_type: 0xffffffff() raw: 002fffff80000000 dead000000000040 ffff88814888a000 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000141fa6000 0000000000000001 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: page_pool leak [...] Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack_lvl+0x32/0x50 bad_page+0x70/0xf0 free_unref_page_prepare+0x263/0x430 free_unref_page+0x34/0x130 mlx5e_free_rx_mpwqe+0x190/0x1c0 [mlx5_core] mlx5e_post_rx_mpwqes+0x1ac/0x280 [mlx5_core] mlx5e_napi_poll+0x12b/0x710 [mlx5_core] ? skb_free_head+0x4f/0x90 __napi_poll+0x2b/0x1c0 net_rx_action+0x27b/0x360 The advantage is the Call Trace directly points to the function leaking the PP page, which in this case is an on purpose bug introduced into the mlx5 driver to test this code change. Currently PP will periodically in page_pool_release_retry() printk warning "stalled pool shutdown" which cannot be directly corrolated to leaking and might as well be a false positive due to SKBs being stuck on a socket for an extended period. After this patch we should be able to remove this printk. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
