From: Muchun Song songmuchun@bytedance.com Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 18:32:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: hugetlb: fix a race between freeing and dissolving the page
There is a race condition between __free_huge_page() and dissolve_free_huge_page().
CPU0: CPU1:
// page_count(page) == 1 put_page(page) __free_huge_page(page) dissolve_free_huge_page(page) spin_lock(&hugetlb_lock) // PageHuge(page) && !page_count(page) update_and_free_page(page) // page is freed to the buddy spin_unlock(&hugetlb_lock) spin_lock(&hugetlb_lock) clear_page_huge_active(page) enqueue_huge_page(page) // It is wrong, the page is already freed spin_unlock(&hugetlb_lock)
The race window is between put_page() and dissolve_free_huge_page().
We should make sure that the page is already on the free list when it is dissolved.
As a result __free_huge_page would corrupt page(s) already in the buddy allocator.
