Subject: mm/migrate: fix race between lock page and clear PG_Isolated
When memory is tight, system may start to compact memory for large
continuous memory demands. If one process tries to lock a memory page
that is being locked and isolated for compaction, it may wait a long time
or even forever. This is because compaction will perform non-atomic
PG_Isolated clear while holding page lock, this may overwrite PG_waiters
set by the process that can't obtain the page lock and add itself to the
waiting queue to wait for the lock to be unlocked.
CPU1 CPU2
lock_page(page); (successful)
lock_page(); (failed)
__ClearPageIsolated(page); SetPageWaiters(page) (may be overwritten)
unlock_page(page);
The solution is to not perform non-atomic operation on page flags while
holding page lock.
