      mm/page_pool: catch page_pool memory leaks · dba1b8a7
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      Pages belonging to a page_pool (PP) instance must be freed through the
      PP APIs in-order to correctly release any DMA mappings and release
      refcnt on the DMA device when freeing PP instance. When PP release a
      page (page_pool_release_page) the page->pp_magic value is cleared.
      
      This patch detect a leaked PP page in free_page_is_bad() via
      unexpected state of page->pp_magic value being PP_SIGNATURE.
      
      We choose to report and treat it as a bad page. It would be possible
      to release the page via returning it to the PP instance as the
      page->pp pointer is likely still valid.
      
      Notice this code is only activated when either compiled with
      CONFIG_DEBUG_VM or boot cmdline debug_pagealloc=on, and
      CONFIG_PAGE_POOL.
      
      Reduced example output of leak with PP_SIGNATURE = dead000000000040:

      The advantage is the Call Trace directly points to the function
      leaking the PP page, which in this case is an on purpose bug
      introduced into the mlx5 driver to test this code change.
      
      Currently PP will periodically in page_pool_release_retry()
      printk warning "stalled pool shutdown" which cannot be directly
      corrolated to leaking and might as well be a false positive
      due to SKBs being stuck on a socket for an extended period.
      After this patch we should be able to remove this printk.
