From: Konstantin Khlebnikov khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru Subject: mm: remove VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) from page_mapcount()
Replace superfluous VM_BUG_ON() with comment about correct usage.
Technically reverts commit 1d148e218a0d0566b1c06f2f45f1436d53b049b2 ("mm: add VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() to page_mapcount()"), but context have changed.
Function isolate_migratepages_block() runs some checks out of lru_lock when choose pages for migration. After checking PageLRU() it checks extra page references by comparing page_count() and page_mapcount(). Between these two checks page could be removed from lru, freed and taken by slab.
As a result this race triggers VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) in page_mapcount(). Race window is tiny. For certain workload this happens around once a year.

Code in isolate_migratepages_block() was added in commit 119d6d59dcc0 ("mm, compaction: avoid isolating pinned pages") before adding VM_BUG_ON into page_mapcount().
This race has been predicted in 2015 by Vlastimil Babka (see link below).
