In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before scanning an mm. But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in uninterruptible state. But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the below khugepaged hung issue: INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Tainted: G E 4.9.65-006.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. khugepaged D 0 270 2 0x00000000 ffff883f3deae4c0 0000000000000000 ffff883f610596c0 ffff883f7d359440 ffff883f63818000 ffffc90019adfc78 ffffffff817079a5 d67e5aa8c1860a64 0000000000000246 ffff883f7d359440 ffffc90019adfc88 ffff883f610596c0 Call Trace: schedule+0x36/0x80 rwsem_down_read_failed+0xf0/0x150 call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x18/0x30 down_read+0x20/0x40 khugepaged+0x476/0x11d0 kthread+0xe6/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30 So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the semaphore so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to scan the next mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so that other processes can get more chances to install THP. Then khugepaged can come back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the current round full_scan. And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a little bit.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
