memory-hotplug: bug fix race between isolation and allocation
Like below, memory-hotplug makes race between page-isolation
and page-allocation so it can hit BUG_ON in __offline_isolated_pages.
CPU A CPU B
start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
spin_lock_irqsave(zone->lock)
free_hot_cold_page(Page A)
/* without zone->lock */
migratetype = get_pageblock_migratetype(Page A);
/*
* Page could be moved into MIGRATE_MOVABLE
* of per_cpu_pages
*/
list_add_tail(&page->lru, &pcp->lists[migratetype]);
set_pageblock_isolate
move_freepages_block
drain_all_pages
/* Page A could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list. */
check_pages_isolated
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock
/*
* We can't catch freed page which
* is free_list[MIGRATE_MOVABLE]
*/
if (PageBuddy(page A))
pfn += 1 << page_order(page A);
/* So, Page A could be allocated */
__offline_isolated_pages
/*
* BUG_ON hit or offline page
* which is used by someone
*/
BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page A));
This patch checks page's migratetype in freelist in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. So now
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock can check the page caused by above race
and can fail of memory offlining.
