[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1703742] [NEW] Transparent hugepages should default to enabled=madvise

2017-07-11 Thread Nelson Elhage
Public bug reported: Ubuntu kernels should default transparent_hugepages to enabled=madvise, not enabled=always (this corresponds to TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y in .config). I've blogged about this at some length here: https://blog.nelhage.com/post/transparent-hugepages/ but here is a

These patches have landed in v4.5rc3 squashed as 65376df582174ffcec9e6471bf5b0dd79ba05e4a (v4.5-rc3~15^2~9). Is that sufficient, or should I reping once 4.5 final is out? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu.

I did some experimentation, and I can reproduce @oystein-gisnas's result that nuking that file from `/lib/udev/rules.d/` and rebooting fixes the issue. However, removing that file and restarting udev does *not* seem to fix the issue. So I suspect the problem is not with udev, but rather with some

Some further debugging: On my t2.micro test case, the machine comes up with 9 memory devices, the last of which is offline at boot. Bringing that device online by hand (with the udev rules disabled) triggers the bug. # echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory8/state So something about

I may or may not have time to do the bisect any time soon, but based on some log-diving, I strongly suspect https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/013cdf1088d7235da9477a2375654921d9b9ba9f or the related refactors of being the commit that introduced this regression. -- You received this bug
