Since this is now apparently a CVE-2023-1582 for whatever RHeasons...
wonder if the patch actually works as intended when (page_count() || migration) is in this particular order and not the other one?
Only the page_mapcount() call to a page that should be problematic, not the page_count() call. There might be the rare chance of the page
Oh right, page_mapcount() vs page_count(), I need more coffee.
getting remove due to memory offlining... but we're still holding the page table lock with the migration entry, so we should be protected against that.
Regarding the CVE, IIUC the main reason for the CVE should be RHEL-specific -- which behaves differently than other code bases; for other code bases, it's just a way to trigger a BUG_ON as described here.
Out of curiosity, is there any public link for this CVE? Google search can't find it.
That's good to know so at least my bogus mail was useful for that, thanks!
