mm/hwpoison: fix race against poison thp
There is a race between hwpoison page and unpoison page, memory_failure set the page hwpoison and increase num_poisoned_pages without hold page lock, and one page count will be accounted against thp for num_poisoned_pages. However, unpoison can occur before memory_failure hold page lock and split transparent hugepage, unpoison will decrease num_poisoned_pages by 1 << compound_order since memory_failure has not yet split transparent hugepage with page lock held. That means we account one page for hwpoison and 1 << compound_order for unpoison. This patch fix it by inserting a PageTransHuge check before doing TestClearPageHWPoison, unpoison failed without clearing PageHWPoison and decreasing num_poisoned_pages. A B memory_failue TestSetPageHWPoison(p); if (PageHuge(p)) nr_pages = 1 << compound_order(hpage); else nr_pages = 1; atomic_long_add(nr_pages, &num_poisoned_pages); unpoison_memory nr_pages = 1<< compound_trans_order(page); if(TestClearPageHWPoison(p)) atomic_long_sub(nr_pages, &num_poisoned_pages); lock page if (!PageHWPoison(p)) unlock page and return hwpoison_user_mappings if (PageTransHuge(hpage)) split_huge_page(hpage); Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <liwanp@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Suggested-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
