[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: fix potential race in __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio()

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

 



There is a potential race between __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() and
try_memory_failure_hugetlb():

 CPU1					CPU2
 __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio	try_memory_failure_hugetlb
					 folio_test_hugetlb
					  -- It's still hugetlb folio.
  folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison
  					  spin_lock_irq(&hugetlb_lock);
					   __get_huge_page_for_hwpoison
					    folio_set_hugetlb_hwpoison
					  spin_unlock_irq(&hugetlb_lock);
  spin_lock_irq(&hugetlb_lock);
  __folio_clear_hugetlb(folio);
   -- Hugetlb flag is cleared but too late.
  spin_unlock_irq(&hugetlb_lock);

When above race occurs, raw error page info will be leaked. Even worse,
raw error pages won't have hwpoisoned flag set and hit pcplists/buddy.
Fix this issue by deferring folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() until
__folio_clear_hugetlb() is done. So all raw error pages will have
hwpoisoned flag set.
