mm/hwpoison: fix race between hugetlb free/demotion and memory_failure_hugetlb()
There is a race condition between memory_failure_hugetlb() and hugetlb free/demotion, which causes setting PageHWPoison flag on the wrong page. The one simple result is that wrong processes can be killed, but another (more serious) one is that the actual error is left unhandled, so no one prevents later access to it, and that might lead to more serious results like consuming corrupted data. Think about the below race window: CPU 1 CPU 2 memory_failure_hugetlb struct page *head = compound_head(p); hugetlb page might be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page. get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now... The current code first does prechecks roughly and then reconfirms after taking refcount, but it's found that it makes code overly complicated, so move the prechecks in a single hugetlb_lock range. A newly introduced function, try_memory_failure_hugetlb(), always takes hugetlb_lock (even for non-hugetlb pages). That can be improved, but memory_failure() is rare in principle, so should not be a big problem.
