From ff4b2b4014cbffb3d32b22629252f4dc8616b0fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 19:33:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: correct return value of populated elements if bulk array is populated Dave Jones reported the following This made it into 5.13 final, and completely breaks NFSD for me (Serving tcp v3 mounts). Existing mounts on clients hang, as do new mounts from new clients. Rebooting the server back to rc7 everything recovers. The commit b3b64ebd3822 ("mm/page_alloc: do bulk array bounds check after checking populated elements") returns the wrong value if the array is already populated which is interpreted as an allocation failure. Dave reported this fixes his problem and it also passed a test running dbench over NFS.
