From 5e3c65bb08af39a77ab05a0afa315182210aa09a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 10:42:29 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory.c: use entry = ACCESS_ONCE(*pte) in handle_pte_fault() Use ACCESS_ONCE() in handle_pte_fault() when getting the entry or orig_pte upon which all subsequent decisions and pte_same() tests will be made. I have no evidence that its lack is responsible for the mm/filemap.c:202 BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in __delete_from_page_cache() found by trinity, and I am not optimistic that it will fix it. But I have found no other explanation, and ACCESS_ONCE() here will surely not hurt. If gcc does re-access the pte before passing it down, then that would be disastrous for correct page fault handling, and certainly could explain the page_mapped() BUGs seen (concurrent fault causing page to be mapped in a second time on top of itself: mapcount 2 for a single pte).
