mm/page_alloc: fix pcp->count race between drain_pages_zone() vs __rmqueue_pcplist()
It's expected that no page should be left in pcp_list after calling
zone_pcp_disable() in offline_pages(). Previously, it's observed that
offline_pages() gets stuck [1] due to some pages remaining in pcp_list.
Cause:
There is a race condition between drain_pages_zone() and __rmqueue_pcplist()
involving the pcp->count variable. See below scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---------------- ---------------
spin_lock(&pcp->lock);
__rmqueue_pcplist() {
zone_pcp_disable() {
/* list is empty */
if (list_empty(list)) {
/* add pages to pcp_list */
alloced = rmqueue_bulk()
mutex_lock(&pcp_batch_high_lock)
...
__drain_all_pages() {
drain_pages_zone() {
/* read pcp->count, it's 0 here */
count = READ_ONCE(pcp->count)
/* 0 means nothing to drain */
/* update pcp->count */
pcp->count += alloced << order;
...
...
spin_unlock(&pcp->lock);
In this case, after calling zone_pcp_disable() though, there are still some
pages in pcp_list. And these pages in pcp_list are neither movable nor
isolated, offline_pages() gets stuck as a result.
Solution:
Expand the scope of the pcp->lock to also protect pcp->count in
drain_pages_zone(), to ensure no pages are left in the pcp list after
zone_pcp_disable()
