From: Matthew Wilcox mawilcox@microsoft.com Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2018 14:56:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/filemap.c: fix NULL pointer in page_cache_tree_insert()
f2fs specifies the __GFP_ZERO flag for allocating some of its pages. Unfortunately, the page cache also uses the mapping's GFP flags for allocating radix tree nodes. It always masked off the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag, and masks off __GFP_ZERO in some paths, but not all. That causes radix tree nodes to be allocated with a NULL list_head, which causes backtraces like:
__list_del_entry+0x30/0xd0 list_lru_del+0xac/0x1ac page_cache_tree_insert+0xd8/0x110
The __GFP_DMA and __GFP_DMA32 flags would also be able to sneak through if they are ever used. Fix them all by using GFP_RECLAIM_MASK at the innermost location, and remove it from earlier in the callchain.
