The patch titled Subject: z3fold: prevent reclaim/free race for headless pages has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was z3fold-prevent-reclaim-free-race-for-headless-pages.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Thomas Hebb tommyhebb@gmail.com Subject: z3fold: prevent reclaim/free race for headless pages
commit ca0246bb97c2 ("z3fold: fix possible reclaim races") introduced the PAGE_CLAIMED flag "to avoid racing on a z3fold 'headless' page release." By atomically testing and setting the bit in each of z3fold_free() and z3fold_reclaim_page(), a double-free was avoided.
However, commit dcf5aedb24f8 ("z3fold: stricter locking and more careful reclaim") appears to have unintentionally broken this behavior by moving the PAGE_CLAIMED check in z3fold_reclaim_page() to after the page lock gets taken, which only happens for non-headless pages. For headless pages, the check is now skipped entirely and races can occur again.
I have observed such a race on my system:

To fix the issue, re-add the earlier test and set in the case where we have a headless page.
