Subject: mm/page_owner: fix recursion bug after changing skip entries
This patch fixes 5f48f0bd4e368425 ("mm, page_owner: skip unnecessary
stack_trace entries").
Because if we skip first two entries then logic of checking count value as
2 for recursion is broken and code will go in one depth recursion.
so we need to check only one call of _RET_IP(__set_page_owner)
while checking for recursion.
Current Backtrace while checking for recursion:-
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner) // (But recursion returns true here)
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
(get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask)
(__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
(depot_save_stack) from (save_stack) // recursion should return true here
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner)
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
(get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask+)
(__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
(depot_save_stack) from (save_stack)
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner)
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
Correct Backtrace with fix:
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner) // recursion returned true here
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
(get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask+)
(__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
(depot_save_stack) from (save_stack)
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner)
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
