[PATCH] mm,migration: Avoid race between shift_arg_pages() andrmap_walk() during migration by not migrating temporary stacks
From: Mel Gorman
Date: Tue May 11 2010 - 04:58:19 EST
Hi Andrew,
This patch closes the most important race in relation to exec and
migration. With it applied, the swapops bug is no longer triggering for
known problem workloads. If you pick it up, it should go with the other
mmmigration-* fixes in mm.
Thanks
==== CUT HERE ====
Page migration requires rmap to be able to find all ptes mapping a page
at all times, otherwise the migration entry can be instantiated, but it
is possible to leave one behind if the second rmap_walk fails to find
the page. If this page is later faulted, migration_entry_to_page() will
call BUG because the page is locked indicating the page was migrated by
the migration PTE not cleaned up. For example

There is a race between shift_arg_pages and migration that triggers this bug.
A temporary stack is setup during exec and later moved. If migration moves
a page in the temporary stack and the VMA is then removed before migration
completes, the migration PTE may not be found leading to a BUG when the
stack is faulted.
This patch causes pages within the temporary stack during exec to be skipped
by migration. It does this by marking the VMA covering the temporary stack
with an otherwise impossible combination of VMA flags. These flags are
cleared when the temporary stack is moved to its final location.
