Subject: [RESEND PATCH ] mm: page_alloc: place zone_id check before VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2014 16:21:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000101d016ad$f0278720$d0769560$%yang@samsung.com> (raw)
If the freeing page and its buddy page are not at the same zone, the current
holding zone->lock for the freeing page cann't prevent buddy page getting
allocated, this could trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_is_buddy() at a
very tiny chance, such as:
cpu 0: cpu 1:
hold zone_1 lock
check page and it buddy
PageBuddy(buddy) is true hold zone_2 lock
page_order(buddy) == order is true alloc buddy
trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(buddy) != 0)
zone_1->lock prevents the freeing page getting allocated
zone_2->lock prevents the buddy page getting allocated
they are not the same zone->lock.
If we cann't remove the zone_id check statement, it's better handle
this rare race. This patch fixes this by placing the zone_id check
before the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check.
