commit 62c9827cbb996c2c04f615ecd783ce28bcea894b upstream.
Fix a data race in commit 779750d20b93 ("shmem: split huge pages beyond i_size under memory pressure").
Here are call traces causing race:
Call Trace 1: shmem_unused_huge_shrink+0x3ae/0x410 ? __list_lru_walk_one.isra.5+0x33/0x160 super_cache_scan+0x17c/0x190 shrink_slab.part.55+0x1ef/0x3f0 shrink_node+0x10e/0x330 kswapd+0x380/0x740 kthread+0xfc/0x130 ? mem_cgroup_shrink_node+0x170/0x170 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x70/0x70 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30
Call Trace 2: shmem_evict_inode+0xd8/0x190 evict+0xbe/0x1c0 do_unlinkat+0x137/0x330 do_syscall_64+0x76/0x120 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2
A simple explanation:
Image there are 3 items in the local list (@list). In the first traversal, A is not deleted from @list.
1) A->B->C ^ | pos (leave)
In the second traversal, B is deleted from @list. Concurrently, A is deleted from @list through shmem_evict_inode() since last reference counter of inode is dropped by other thread. Then the @list is corrupted.
2) A->B->C ^ ^ | | evict pos (drop)
We should make sure the inode is either on the global list or deleted from any local list before iput().
Fixed by moving inodes back to global list before we put them.
