From 3203b3ab0fcf22132caadd72caebfad47bf0dd2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2024 13:53:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm/filemap: don't call folio_test_locked() without a reference in next_uptodate_folio() The folio can get freed + buddy-merged + reallocated in the meantime, resulting in us calling folio_test_locked() possibly on a tail page. This makes const_folio_flags VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() when stumbling over the tail page. Could this result in other issues? Doesn't look like it. False positives and false negatives don't really matter, because this folio would get skipped either way when detecting that they have been reallocated in the meantime. Fix it by performing the folio_test_locked() checked after grabbing a reference. If this ever becomes a real problem, we could add a special helper that racily checks if the bit is set even on tail pages ... but let's hope that's not required so we can just handle it cleaner: work on the folio after we hold a reference. Do we really need the folio_test_locked() check if we are going to trylock briefly after? Well, we can at least avoid a xas_reload(). It's a bit unclear which exact change introduced that issue. Likely, ever since we made PG_locked obey to the PF_NO_TAIL policy it could have been triggered in some way.
