In bch_btree_cache_alloc() when CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG is configured, allocate memory for c->verify_ondisk may fail if the bucket size > 8MB, which will require __get_free_pages() to allocate continuous pages with order > 11 (the default MAX_ORDER of Linux buddy allocator). Such over size allocation will fail, and cause 2 problems, - When CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG is configured, bch_btree_verify() does not work, because c->verify_ondisk is NULL and bch_btree_verify() returns immediately. - bch_btree_cache_alloc() will fail due to c->verify_ondisk allocation failed, then the whole cache device registration fails. And because of this failure, the first problem of bch_btree_verify() has no chance to be triggered. This patch fixes the above problem by two means, 1) If pages allocation of c->verify_ondisk fails, set it to NULL and returns bch_btree_cache_alloc() with -ENOMEM. 2) When calling __get_free_pages() to allocate c->verify_ondisk pages, use ilog2(meta_bucket_pages(&c->sb)) to make sure ilog2() will always generate a pages order <= MAX_ORDER (or CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER). Then the buddy system won't directly reject the allocation request. Signed-off-by: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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 Restructured Text 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.
