[ 0.000000] Linux version 5.9.0-0.rc3.1.tst.el8.x86_64 (mockbuild@x86-vm-15.build.eng.bos.redhat.com) (gcc (GCC) 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5), GNU ld version 2.30-79.el8) #1 SMP Wed Sep 9 16:03:34 EDT 2020
After further digging it's found that the following race condition exists in the
original implementation,
CPU1 CPU2
---- ----
deferred_split_scan()
split_huge_page(page) /* page isn't compound head */
split_huge_page_to_list(page, NULL)
__split_huge_page(page, )
ClearPageCompound(head)
/* unlock all subpages except page (not head) */
add_to_swap(head) /* not THP */
get_swap_page(head)
add_to_swap_cache(head, )
SetPageSwapCache(head)
if PageSwapCache(head)
split_swap_cluster(/* swap entry of head */)
/* Deref sis->cluster_info: NULL accessing! */
So, in split_huge_page_to_list(), PageSwapCache() is called for the already
split and unlocked "head", which may be added to swap cache in another CPU. So
split_swap_cluster() may be called wrongly.
To fix the race, the call to split_swap_cluster() is moved to
__split_huge_page() before all subpages are unlocked. So that the
PageSwapCache() is stable.
