If a compound page is being split while dump_page() is being run on that page, we can end up calling compound_mapcount() on a page that is no longer compound. This leads to a crash (already seen at least once in the field), due to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() assertion inside compound_mapcount().
(The above is from Matthew Wilcox's analysis of Qian Cai's bug report.) A similar problem is possible, via compound_pincount() instead of compound_mapcount(). In order to avoid this kind of crash, make dump_page() slightly more robust, by providing a pair of simpler routines that don't contain assertions: head_mapcount() and head_pincount(). For debug tools, we don't want to go *too* far in this direction, but this is a simple small fix, and the crash has already been seen, so it's a good trade-off.

Shutemov <kirill.shute...@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: John Hubbard <jhubb...@nvidia.com> --- Hi, I'm assuming that a fix is not required for -stable, but let me know if others feel differently. The dump_page() code has changed a lot in that area. Changes since v1 [1]: 1) Rebased onto mmotm 2) Used a simpler head_*count() approach. 3) Added Matthew's Suggested-by: tag 4) Support pincount as well as mapcount.
