[PATCH 8/9] mm/z3fold: fix z3fold_reclaim_page races with z3fold_free

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Think about the below scene:

CPU1				CPU2
z3fold_reclaim_page		z3fold_free
 spin_lock(&pool->lock)		 get_z3fold_header -- hold page_lock
 kref_get_unless_zero
				 kref_put--zhdr->refcount can be 1 now
 !z3fold_page_trylock
  kref_put -- zhdr->refcount is 0 now
   release_z3fold_page
    WARN_ON(!list_empty(&zhdr->buddy)); -- we're on buddy now!
    spin_lock(&pool->lock); -- deadlock here!

z3fold_reclaim_page might race with z3fold_free and will lead to pool lock
deadlock and zhdr buddy non-empty warning. To fix this, defer getting the
refcount until page_lock is held just like what __z3fold_alloc does. Note
this has the side effect that we won't break the reclaim if we meet a soon
to be released z3fold page now.
