Subject: [PATCH 3.4 64/91] cpuset: PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB should be atomic flags
From: Zefan Li <lizefan@...wei.com>
3.4.105-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
commit 2ad654bc5e2b211e92f66da1d819e47d79a866f0 upstream.
When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip
PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk->flags for each task in that cpuset.
This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't,
which is broken.
Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened
when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another
thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on
the same task.
Here's the full report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230
To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags.
v4:
- updated mm/slab.c. (Fengguang Wu)
- updated Documentation.

[lizf: Backported to 3.4:
- adjust context
- check current->flags & PF_MEMPOLICY rather than current->mempolicy]
