Junil, can something like this be a bit simpler problem description?
---
record_obj() in migrate_zspage() does not preserve handle's
HANDLE_PIN_BIT, set by find_alloced_obj()->trypin_tag(), and
implicitly (accidentally) un-pins the handle, while migrate_zspage()
still performs an explicit unpin_tag() on the that handle.
This additional explicit unpin_tag() introduces a race condition
with zs_free(), which can pin that handle by this time, so the handle
becomes un-pinned. Schematically, it goes like this:
CPU0 CPU1
migrate_zspage
find_alloced_obj
trypin_tag
set HANDLE_PIN_BIT zs_free()
pin_tag()
obj_malloc() -- new object, no tag
record_obj() -- remove HANDLE_PIN_BIT set HANDLE_PIN_BIT
unpin_tag() -- remove zs_free's HANDLE_PIN_BIT
The race condition may result in a NULL pointer dereference:

Fix the race by removing explicit unpin_tag() from migrate_zspage().

I believe Vlastimil deserves a credit here (at least Suggested-by)
Suggested-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
now, can the compiler re-order
record_obj(handle, free_obj);
obj_free(pool, class, used_obj);
?
