Subject: [PATCH] mm/compaction: Fix bug in hugetlb handling pathway
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2025 19:10:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250401021025.637333-1-vishal.moola@gmail.com> (raw)
The compaction code doesn't take references on pages until we're certain
we should attempt to handle it.
In the hugetlb case, isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page() may return -EBUSY
without taking a reference to the folio associated with our pfn. If our
folio's refcount drops to 0, compound_nr() becomes unpredictable, making
low_pfn and nr_scanned unreliable.
The user-visible effect is minimal - this should rarely happen (if ever).
Fix this by storing the folio statistics earlier on the stack (just like
the THP and Buddy cases).
Also revert commit 66fe1cf7f581 ("mm: compaction: use helper compound_nr
in isolate_migratepages_block")
to make backporting easier.
Fixes: 369fa227c219 ("mm: make alloc_contig_range handle free hugetlb pages")
