[PATCH 4.8 08/92] mm: hwpoison: fix thp split handling in memory_failure()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 17 2016 - 06:02:15 EST


4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c3901e722b2975666f42748340df798114742d6d upstream.

When memory_failure() runs on a thp tail page after pmd is split, we
trigger the following VM_BUG_ON_PAGE():

page:ffffd7cd819b0040 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x1
flags: 0x1fffc000400000(hwpoison)
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(p))
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at /src/linux-dev/mm/memory-failure.c:1132!

memory_failure() passed refcount and page lock from tail page to head
page, which is not needed because we can pass any subpage to
split_huge_page().

Fixes: 61f5d698cc97 ("mm: re-enable THP")
