mm, page_alloc: keep pcp count and list contents in sync if struct page is corrupted
commit a6de734bc002fe2027ccc074fbbd87d72957b7a4 upstream.
Vlastimil Babka pointed out that commit 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc:
defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") will allow the
per-cpu list counter to be out of sync with the per-cpu list contents if
a struct page is corrupted.
The consequence is an infinite loop if the per-cpu lists get fully
drained by free_pcppages_bulk because all the lists are empty but the
count is positive. The infinite loop occurs here
do {
batch_free++;
if (++migratetype == MIGRATE_PCPTYPES)
migratetype = 0;
list = &pcp->lists[migratetype];
} while (list_empty(list));
What the user sees is a bad page warning followed by a soft lockup with
interrupts disabled in free_pcppages_bulk().
This patch keeps the accounting in sync.
