mm/hugetlb: hugetlb_no_page: rate-limit warning message
The warning message "killed due to inadequate hugepage pool" simply indicates that SIGBUS was sent, not that the process was forcibly killed. If the process has a signal handler installed does not fix the problem, this message can rapidly spam the kernel log. On my amd64 dev machine that does not have hugepages configured, I can reproduce the repeated warnings easily by setting vm.nr_hugepages=2 (i.e., 4 megabytes of huge pages) and running something that sets a signal handler and forks, like #include <sys/mman.h> #include <signal.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> sig_atomic_t counter = 10; void handler(int signal) { if (counter-- == 0) exit(0); } int main(void) { int status; char *addr = mmap(NULL, 4 * 1048576, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {perror("mmap"); return 1;} *addr = 'x'; switch (fork()) { case -1: perror("fork"); return 1; case 0: signal(SIGBUS, handler); *addr = 'x'; break; default: *addr = 'x'; wait(&status); if (WIFSIGNALED(status)) { psignal(WTERMSIG(status), "child"); } break; } } Signed-off-by: Geoffrey Thomas <geofft@ldpreload.com> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <hillf.zj@alibaba-inc.com> Cc: "Kirill A.
