Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] mm/isolation: close the two race problems related to pageblock isolation
We got migratetype of the freeing page without holding the zone lock so
it could be racy. There are two cases of this race.
1. pages are added to isolate buddy list after restoring original
migratetype.
2. pages are added to normal buddy list while pageblock is isolated.
If case 1 happens, we can't allocate freepages on isolate buddy list
until next pageblock isolation occurs.
In case of 2, pages could be merged with pages on isolate buddy list and
located on normal buddy list. This makes freepage counting incorrect
and break the property of pageblock isolation.
One solution to this problem is checking pageblock migratetype with
holding zone lock in __free_one_page() and I posted it before, but,
it didn't get welcome since it needs the hook in zone lock critical
section on freepath.
This is another solution to this problem and impose most overhead on
pageblock isolation logic. Following is how this solution works.
1. Extends irq disabled period on freepath to call
get_pfnblock_migratetype() with irq disabled. With this, we can be
sure that future freed pages will see modified pageblock migratetype
after certain synchronization point so we don't need to hold the zone
lock to get correct pageblock migratetype. Although it extends irq
disabled period on freepath, I guess it is marginal and better than
adding the hook in zone lock critical section.
2. #1 requires IPI for synchronization and we can't hold the zone lock
during processing IPI. In this time, some pages could be moved from buddy
list to pcp list on page allocation path and later it could be moved again
from pcp list to buddy list. In this time, this page would be on isolate
pageblock, so, the hook is required on free_pcppages_bulk() to prevent
misplacement. To remove this possibility, disabling and draining pcp
list is needed during isolation. It guaratees that there is no page on pcp
list on all cpus while isolation, so misplacement problem can't happen.
Note that this doesn't fix freepage counting problem. To fix it,
we need more logic. Following patches will do it.
