Greetings,
Kernel bound workloads seem to trigger the below for whatever reason. I only see this when beating up NFS. There was a kworker wakeup latency issue, but with a bandaid applied to fix that up, I can still trigger this.
Hi,
i have seen this one as well with my system, but i could not find an easy way to trigger it for bisecting purpose. If you can trigger it conveniently, a bisect would be nice!
I'm seeing this (with the amdgpu and radeon drivers) when restic takes a backup, creating memory pressure. I happen to have just finished bisecting, the result is:
648bc3574716400acc06f99915815f80d9563783 is the first bad commit commit 648bc3574716400acc06f99915815f80d9563783 Author: Christian König christian.koenig@amd.com Date: Thu Jul 6 09:59:43 2017 +0200
drm/ttm: add transparent huge page support for DMA allocations v2 Try to allocate huge pages when it makes sense. v2: fix comment and use ifdef
BTW, I haven't noticed any bad effects other than the dmesg splats, so maybe it's just noise about transient failures for which there is a proper fallback in place.
Yeah, I think that is exactly what happens here.
We try to allocate a huge page, but fail and so fall back to using multiple 4k pages instead.
Going to send out a patch to suppress the warning.
Hi Christian,
Did you ever send out such a patch? I didn't see one on the list, but perhaps I missed it. One definitely hasn't made it upstream yet. (I just hit the issue myself with Linus's tree from last night.)
Thanks,
