From e320d3012d25b1fb5f3df4edb7bd44a1c362ec10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2020 16:56:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc.c: fix freeing non-compound pages Here is a very rare race which leaks memory: Page P0 is allocated to the page cache. Page P1 is free. Thread A Thread B Thread C find_get_entry(): xas_load() returns P0 Removes P0 from page cache P0 finds its buddy P1 alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 1) returns P0 P0 has refcount 1 page_cache_get_speculative(P0) P0 has refcount 2 __free_pages(P0) P0 has refcount 1 put_page(P0) P1 is not freed Fix this by freeing all the pages in __free_pages() that won't be freed by the call to put_page(). It's usually not a good idea to split a page, but this is a very unlikely scenario.
