In this case it happens because PGD cache and 512k hugepte cache are the same size (4k). While a cache with constructor is created for the PGD, hugepages create cache without constructor and uses kmem_cache_zalloc(). As both expect a cache with the same size, the hugepages reuse the cache created for PGD, hence the conflict. In order to avoid this conflict, this patch: - modifies pgtable_cache_add() so that a zeroising constructor is added for any cache size. - replaces calls to kmem_cache_zalloc() by kmem_cache_alloc() Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> |

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.
