Normally the range should be linearly increasing, but here it's taking the ranges via fast_find_migrateblock(). This should not be looping forever as each range should be tried only once. However there's a commit in v6.1 - 7efc3b726103 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock") that removes recording the information to not repeat a range from one place, and looks like it's possible under certain circumstances to avoid the recording in the other places, and that's probably happened for you. I'm building a kernel with that commit reverted so you can test and confirm whether that was it. I will post a link soon. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
