CPU A CPU B start_isolate_page_range set_migratetype_isolate spin_lock_irqsave(zone->lock) free_hot_cold_page(Page A) /* without zone->lock */ migratetype = get_pageblock_migratetype(Page A); /* * Page could be moved into MIGRATE_MOVABLE * of per_cpu_pages */ list_add_tail(&page->lru, &pcp->lists[migratetype]); set_pageblock_isolate move_freepages_block drain_all_pages /* Page A could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list. */ check_pages_isolated __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock /* * We can't catch freed page which * is free_list[MIGRATE_MOVABLE] */ if (PageBuddy(page A)) pfn += 1 << page_order(page A); /* So, Page A could be allocated */ __offline_isolated_pages /* * BUG_ON hit or offline page * which is used by someone */ BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page A)); This patch checks page's migratetype in freelist in __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. So now __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock can check the page caused by above race and can fail of memory offlining.
