Subject: [PATCHv3 4/5] mm: make compound_head() robust
Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some
context. There's one example:
CPU0 CPU1
isolate_migratepages_block()
page_count()
compound_head()
!!PageTail() == true
put_page()
tail->first_page = NULL
head = tail->first_page
alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP)
prep_compound_page()
tail->first_page = head
__SetPageTail(p);
!!PageTail() == true
<head == NULL dereferencing>
The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
practice. But who knows.
We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.
The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
front of compound_dtor and compound_order. That means it shares storage
space with:
- page->lru.next;
- page->next;
- page->rcu_head.next;
- page->pmd_huge_pte;
That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
bit 0 of the word. It can be used to encode PageTail(). And if the bit
set, rest of the word is pointer to head page.
