Subject: mm: prevent mmap_cache race in find_vma()
find_vma() can be called by multiple threads with read lock
held on mm->mmap_sem and any of them can update mm->mmap_cache.
Prevent compiler from re-fetching mm->mmap_cache, because other
readers could update it in the meantime:
thread 1 thread 2
|
find_vma() | find_vma()
struct vm_area_struct *vma = NULL; |
vma = mm->mmap_cache; |
if (!(vma && vma->vm_end > addr |
&& vma->vm_start <= addr)) { |
| mm->mmap_cache = vma;
return vma; |
^^ compiler may optimize this |
local variable out and re-read |
mm->mmap_cache |
This issue can be reproduced with gcc-4.8.0-1 on s390x by running
mallocstress testcase from LTP, which triggers:
kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1088!

Thanks to Jakub Jelinek for his insight on gcc and helping to
track this down.
