From 4855e4a7f29d6d10b0b9c84e189c770c9a94e91e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 16:42:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: prevent double decrease of nr_reserved_highatomic There is race between page freeing and unreserved highatomic. CPU 0 CPU 1 free_hot_cold_page mt = get_pfnblock_migratetype set_pcppage_migratetype(page, mt) unreserve_highatomic_pageblock spin_lock_irqsave(&zone->lock) move_freepages_block set_pageblock_migratetype(page) spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lock) free_pcppages_bulk __free_one_page(mt) <- mt is stale By above race, a page on CPU 0 could go non-highorderatomic free list since the pageblock's type is changed. By that, unreserve logic of highorderatomic can decrease reserved count on a same pageblock severak times and then it will make mismatch between nr_reserved_highatomic and the number of reserved pageblock. So, this patch verifies whether the pageblock is highatomic or not and decrease the count only if the pageblock is highatomic.
