From 69a041ff505806c95b24b8d5cab43e66aacd91e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miaohe Lin Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022 23:16:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/migration: fix potential page refcounts leak in migrate_pages In -ENOMEM case, there might be some subpages of fail-to-migrate THPs left in thp_split_pages list. We should move them back to migration list so that they could be put back to the right list by the caller otherwise the page refcnt will be leaked here. Also adjust nr_failed and nr_thp_failed accordingly to make vm events account more accurate.
