mm: numa: avoid waiting on freed migrated pages
In do_huge_pmd_numa_page(), we attempt to handle a migrating thp pmd by waiting until the pmd is unlocked before we return and retry. However, we can race with migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): // do_huge_pmd_numa_page // migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() // Holds 0 refs on page // Holds 2 refs on page vmf->ptl = pmd_lock(vma->vm_mm, vmf->pmd); /* ... */ if (pmd_trans_migrating(*vmf->pmd)) { page = pmd_page(*vmf->pmd); spin_unlock(vmf->ptl); ptl = pmd_lock(mm, pmd); if (page_count(page) != 2)) { /* roll back */ } /* ... */ mlock_migrate_page(new_page, page); /* ... */ spin_unlock(ptl); put_page(page); put_page(page); // page freed here wait_on_page_locked(page); goto out; } This can result in the freed page having its waiters flag set unexpectedly, which trips the PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP checks in the page alloc/free functions. This has been observed on arm64 KVM guests. We can avoid this by having do_huge_pmd_numa_page() take a reference on the page before dropping the pmd lock, mirroring what we do in __migration_entry_wait(). When we hit the race, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() will see the reference and abort the migration, as it may do today in other cases.
