The race window reall is between put_page and dissolve_free_huge_page. And the result is that the put_page path would clobber an unrelated page (either free or already reused page) which is quite serious. Fortunatelly pages are dissolved very rarely. I believe that user would require to be privileged to hit this by intention. > We should make sure that the page is already on the free list > when it is dissolved. Another option would be to check for PageHuge in __free_huge_page. Have you considered that rather than add yet another state? The scope of the spinlock would have to be extended. If that sounds more tricky then can we check the page->lru in the dissolve path? If the page is still PageHuge and reference count 0 then there shouldn't be many options where it can be queued, right? > Fixes: c8721bbbdd36 ("mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle > hugepage") > Signed-off-by: Muchun Song <songmuc...@bytedance.com> > --- > mm/hugetlb.c | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 38 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/mm/hugetlb.c b/mm/hugetlb.c > index 4741d60f8955..8ff138c17129 100644 > --- a/mm/hugetlb.c > +++ b/mm/hugetlb.c > @@ -79,6 +79,21 @@ DEFINE_SPINLOCK(hugetlb_lock); > static int num_fault_mutexes; > struct mutex *hugetlb_fault_mutex_table ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp; > > +static inline bool PageHugeFreed(struct page *head) > +{ > + return (unsigned long)head[3].mapping == -1U; > +} > + > +static inline void SetPageHugeFreed(struct page *head) > +{ > + head[3].mapping = (void *)-1U; > +} > + > +static inline void ClearPageHugeFreed(struct page *head) > +{ > + head[3].mapping = NULL; > +} > + > /* Forward declaration */ > static int hugetlb_acct_memory(struct hstate *h, long delta); > > @@ -1028,6 +1043,7 @@ static void enqueue_huge_page(struct hstate *h, struct > page *page) > list_move(&page->lru, &h->hugepage_freelists[nid]); > h->free_huge_pages++; > h->free_huge_pages_node[nid]++; > + SetPageHugeFreed(page); > } > > static struct page *dequeue_huge_page_node_exact(struct hstate *h, int nid) > @@ -1044,6 +1060,7 @@ static struct page *dequeue_huge_page_node_exact(struct > hstate *h, int nid) > > list_move(&page->lru, &h->hugepage_activelist); > set_page_refcounted(page); > + ClearPageHugeFreed(page); > h->free_huge_pages--; > h->free_huge_pages_node[nid]--; > return page; > @@ -1291,6 +1308,17 @@ static inline void > destroy_compound_gigantic_page(struct page *page, > unsigned int order) { } > #endif > > +/* > + * Because we reuse the mapping field of some tail page structs, we should > + * reset those mapping to initial value before @head is freed to the buddy > + * allocator.
