Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ksm: fix potential missing rmap_item for stable_node
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2021 10:02:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210330140228.45635-5-linmiaohe@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210330140228.45635-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com>

When remove rmap_item from stable tree, STABLE_FLAG of rmap_item is cleared
with head reserved. So the following scenario might happen:
For ksm page with rmap_item1:
cmp_and_merge_page
  stable_node->head = &migrate_nodes;
  remove_rmap_item_from_tree, but head still equal to stable_node;
  try_to_merge_with_ksm_page failed;
  return;
For the same ksm page with rmap_item2, stable node migration succeed this
time. The stable_node->head does not equal to migrate_nodes now.
For ksm page with rmap_item1 again:
cmp_and_merge_page
 stable_node->head != &migrate_nodes && rmap_item->head == stable_node
 return;
We would miss the rmap_item for stable_node and might result in failed
rmap_walk_ksm(). Fix this by set rmap_item->head to NULL when rmap_item
is removed from stable tree.

Fixes: 4146d2d673e8 ("ksm: make !merge_across_nodes migration safe")
