Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: fix the deadlock in finish_fault()
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2021 15:48:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210721074849.57004-1-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> (raw)

The commit 63f3655f9501 ("mm, memcg: fix reclaim deadlock with
writeback") fix the following ABBA deadlock by pre-allocating
the pte page table without holding the page lock.

	                                lock_page(A)
                                        SetPageWriteback(A)
                                        unlock_page(A)
  lock_page(B)
                                        lock_page(B)
  pte_alloc_one
    shrink_page_list
      wait_on_page_writeback(A)
                                        SetPageWriteback(B)
                                        unlock_page(B)

                                        # flush A, B to clear the writeback

The commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") rework the relevant code but ignore this race. This will
cause the deadlock above to appear again, so fix it.
