__alloc_pages_slowpath has no change detection for ac->nodemask in the
part of retry path, while cpuset can modify it in parallel. For some
processes that set mempolicy as MPOL_BIND, this results ac->nodemask
changes, and then the should_reclaim_retry will judge based on the latest
nodemask and jump to retry, while the get_page_from_freelist only
traverses the zonelist from ac->preferred_zoneref, which selected by a
expired nodemask and may cause infinite retries in some cases
cpu 64:
__alloc_pages_slowpath {
/* ..... */
retry:
/* ac->nodemask = 0x1, ac->preferred->zone->nid = 1 */
if (alloc_flags & ALLOC_KSWAPD)
wake_all_kswapds(order, gfp_mask, ac);
/* cpu 1:
cpuset_write_resmask
update_nodemask
update_nodemasks_hier
update_tasks_nodemask
mpol_rebind_task
mpol_rebind_policy
mpol_rebind_nodemask
// mempolicy->nodes has been modified,
// which ac->nodemask point to
*/
/* ac->nodemask = 0x3, ac->preferred->zone->nid = 1 */
if (should_reclaim_retry(gfp_mask, order, ac, alloc_flags,
did_some_progress > 0, &no_progress_loops))
goto retry;
}
Simultaneously starting multiple cpuset01 from LTP can quickly reproduce
this issue on a multi node server when the maximum memory pressure is
reached and the swap is enabled

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 reStructuredText 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.
