When "unsafe unplug" is enabled, we don't fake-offline all memory ahead of actual memory offlining using alloc_contig_range(). Instead, we rely on offline_pages() to also perform actual page migration, which might fail or take a very long time. In that case, it's possible to easily run into endless loops that cannot be aborted anymore (as offlining is triggered by a workqueue then): For example, a single (accidentally) permanently unmovable page in ZONE_MOVABLE results in an endless loop. For ZONE_NORMAL, races between isolating the pageblock (and checking for unmovable pages) and concurrent page allocation are possible and similarly result in endless loops. The idea of the unsafe unplug mode was to make it possible to more reliably unplug large memory blocks. However, (a) we really should be tackling that differently, by extending the alloc_contig_range()-based mechanism; and (b) this mode is not the default and as far as I know, it's unused either way. So let's simply get rid of it. Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20230713145551.2824980-2-david@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> |
