[PATCH 1/1] mm/page_owner: fix recursion bug after changing skip entries
From: Maninder Singh
Date: Wed Mar 21 2018 - 00:38:26 EST
This patch fixes "5f48f0bd4e368425db4424b9afd1bd251d32367a".
(mm, page_owner: skip unnecessary stack_trace entries)
Because if we skip first two entries then logic of checking count
value as 2 for recursion is broken and code will go in one depth
recursion.
so we need to check only one call of _RET_IP(__set_page_owner)
while checking for recursion.
Current Backtrace while checking for recursion:-
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner) // (But recursion returns true here)
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
(get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask)
(__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
(depot_save_stack) from (save_stack) // recursion should return true here
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner)
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
(get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask+)
(__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
(depot_save_stack) from (save_stack)
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner)
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
Correct Backtrace with fix:
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner) // recursion returned true here
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
(get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask+)
(__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
(depot_save_stack) from (save_stack)
(save_stack) from (__set_page_owner)
(__set_page_owner) from (get_page_from_freelist)
