From d3609d7cd103b9cc623e60e9f751a882703370b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qi Zheng Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 15:50:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix the deadlock in finish_fault() Commit 4f7cce5cfb3b ("mm, memcg: fix reclaim deadlock with writeback") fix the following ABBA deadlock by pre-allocating the pte page table without holding the page lock. lock_page(A) SetPageWriteback(A) unlock_page(A) lock_page(B) lock_page(B) pte_alloc_one shrink_page_list wait_on_page_writeback(A) SetPageWriteback(B) unlock_page(B) # flush A, B to clear the writeback Commit 33fe6a60a178 ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault() codepaths") reworked the relevant code but ignored this race. This will cause the deadlock above to appear again, so fix it.
