From 57e68e9cd65b4b8eb4045a1e0d0746458502554c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 15:37:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked). The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration, which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that effect. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page != check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable memory design.
