mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline
There is a race during page offline that can lead to infinite loop:
a page never ends up on a buddy list and __offline_pages() keeps
retrying infinitely or until a termination signal is received.
Thread#1 - a new process:
load_elf_binary
begin_new_exec
exec_mmap
mmput
exit_mmap
tlb_finish_mmu
tlb_flush_mmu
release_pages
free_unref_page_list
free_unref_page_prepare
set_pcppage_migratetype(page, migratetype);
// Set page->index migration type below MIGRATE_PCPTYPES
Thread#2 - hot-removes memory
__offline_pages
start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
set_pageblock_migratetype(page, MIGRATE_ISOLATE);
Set migration type to MIGRATE_ISOLATE-> set
drain_all_pages(zone);
// drain per-cpu page lists to buddy allocator.
Thread#1 - continue
free_unref_page_commit
migratetype = get_pcppage_migratetype(page);
// get old migration type
list_add(&page->lru, &pcp->lists[migratetype]);
// add new page to already drained pcp list
Thread#2
Never drains pcp again, and therefore gets stuck in the loop.
The fix is to try to drain per-cpu lists again after
check_pages_isolated_cb() fails.
Fixes: c52e75935f8d ("mm: remove extra drain pages on pcp list")
