[PATCH 1/4] mm: do not crash on PageDoubleMap() for non-head pages

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Tue Nov 03 2015 - 10:27:06 EST


We usually don't call PageDoubleMap() on small or tail pages, but during
read from /proc/kpageflags we don't protect the page from being freed under
us and it can lead to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in PageDoubleMap():

page:ffffea00033e0000 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x700000200
flags: 0x4000000000000000()
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page))
page->mem_cgroup:ffff88021588cc00

Let's drop the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() from PageDoubleMap() and return false for
non-head pages.

The patch can be folded into
"mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs"
