[patch 12/15] mlock: fix mlock count can not decrease in race condition

[akpm]

From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@huawei.com>
Subject: mlock: fix mlock count can not decrease in race condition

Kefeng reported that when running the follow test, the mlock count in
meminfo will increase permanently:

 [1] testcase
 linux:~ # cat test_mlockal
 grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
  for j in `seq 0 10`
  do
 	for i in `seq 4 15`
 	do
 		./p_mlockall >> log &
 	done
 	sleep 0.2
 done
 # wait some time to let mlock counter decrease and 5s may not enough
 sleep 5
 grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo

 linux:~ # cat p_mlockall.c
 #include <sys/mman.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <stdio.h>

 #define SPACE_LEN	4096

 int main(int argc, char ** argv)
 {
	 	int ret;
	 	void *adr = malloc(SPACE_LEN);
	 	if (!adr)
	 		return -1;
	
	 	ret = mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE);
	 	printf("mlcokall ret = %d\n", ret);
	
	 	ret = munlockall();
	 	printf("munlcokall ret = %d\n", ret);
	
	 	free(adr);
	 	return 0;
	 }

In __munlock_pagevec() we should decrement NR_MLOCK for each page where we
clear the PageMlocked flag.  Commit 1ebb7cc6a583 ("mm: munlock: batch
NR_MLOCK zone state updates") has introduced a bug where we don't
decrement NR_MLOCK for pages where we clear the flag, but fail to isolate
them from the lru list (e.g.  when the pages are on some other cpu's
percpu pagevec).  Since PageMlocked stays cleared, the NR_MLOCK accounting
gets permanently disrupted by this.

Fix it by counting the number of page whose PageMlock flag is cleared.
