Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/page_owner: also check PageTail before reading memcg_data
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2026 18:59:09 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104-kpagecgroup-split-v1-2-f70e947fec85@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104-kpagecgroup-split-v1-0-f70e947fec85@samsung.com>
From: Daejun Park <daejun7.park@samsung.com>
print_page_owner_memcg() loads memcg_data before it tests PageTail().
In the first tail page, memcg_data holds the folio's _nr_pages. A split
can make the page a folio between the two loads. The stale _nr_pages
then passes the PageTail() test and is used as an objcg pointer.
__split_folio_to_order() stores memcg_data before the smp_wmb() that
precedes clear_compound_head(). Also test PageTail() before the load,
with a paired smp_rmb(). Keep the test after the load for a page that
becomes a tail in between.
Fixes: 4996fc547f5b ("mm: let _folio_nr_pages overlay memcg_data in first tail page")
Signed-off-by: Daejun Park <daejun7.park@samsung.com>

Needs patch 1 for the store order. Found by reading the code, not
reproduced. The page_owner oops seen with a delay after
clear_compound_head() is the window patch 1 closes.
