From 4eaf3f64397c3db3c5785eee508270d62a9fabd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haicheng Li Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 14:32:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mem-hotplug: fix potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone Add global mutex zonelists_mutex to fix the possible race: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 (1) zone->present_pages += online_pages; (2) build_all_zonelists(); (3) alloc_page(); (4) free_page(); (5) build_all_zonelists(); (6) __build_all_zonelists(); (7) zone->pageset = alloc_percpu(); In step (3,4), zone->pageset still points to boot_pageset, so bad things may happen if 2+ nodes are in this state. Even if only 1 node is accessing the boot_pageset, (3) may still consume too much memory to fail the memory allocations in step (7). Besides, atomic operation ensures alloc_percpu() in step (7) will never fail since there is a new fresh memory block added in step(6).
