Subject: [PATCH 5.14 756/849] mm/zsmalloc.c: close race window between zs_pool_dec_isolated() and zs_unregister_migration()

From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit afe8605ca45424629fdddfd85984b442c763dc47 ]

There is one possible race window between zs_pool_dec_isolated() and
zs_unregister_migration() because wait_for_isolated_drain() checks the
isolated count without holding class->lock and there is no order inside
zs_pool_dec_isolated().  Thus the below race window could be possible:

  zs_pool_dec_isolated		zs_unregister_migration
    check pool->destroying != 0
				  pool->destroying = true;
				  smp_mb();
				  wait_for_isolated_drain()
				    wait for pool->isolated_pages == 0
    atomic_long_dec(&pool->isolated_pages);
    atomic_long_read(&pool->isolated_pages) == 0

Since we observe the pool->destroying (false) before atomic_long_dec()
for pool->isolated_pages, waking pool->migration_wait up is missed.

Fix this by ensure checking pool->destroying happens after the
atomic_long_dec(&pool->isolated_pages).
