This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mm/zsmalloc.c: close race window between zs_pool_dec_isolated() and zs_unregister_migration() to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mm-zsmalloc.c-close-race-window-between-zs_pool_dec_.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 23eabaf9aa087caf41cb3f98ed2b864333dfea32 Author: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 5 13:45:03 2021 -0700 mm/zsmalloc.c: close race window between zs_pool_dec_isolated() and zs_unregister_migration() [ Upstream commit afe8605ca45424629fdddfd85984b442c763dc47 ] There is one possible race window between zs_pool_dec_isolated() and zs_unregister_migration() because wait_for_isolated_drain() checks the isolated count without holding class->lock and there is no order inside zs_pool_dec_isolated(). Thus the below race window could be possible: zs_pool_dec_isolated zs_unregister_migration check pool->destroying != 0 pool->destroying = true; smp_mb(); wait_for_isolated_drain() wait for pool->isolated_pages == 0 atomic_long_dec(&pool->isolated_pages); atomic_long_read(&pool->isolated_pages) == 0 Since we observe the pool->destroying (false) before atomic_long_dec() for pool->isolated_pages, waking pool->migration_wait up is missed. Fix this by ensure checking pool->destroying happens after the atomic_long_dec(&pool->isolated_pages).
