I don't see why we would need this. Can you elaborate where you think
this is a problem?
If compaction races with charging for example, compaction doesn't need
to prevent a new page from being added to an lruvec. PageLRU is only
set after page->mem_cgroup is updated, so there are two race outcomes:
1) TestClearPageLRU() fails. That means the page isn't (fully) created
yet and cannot be migrated. We goto isolate_fail before even trying to
lock the lruvec.
2) TestClearPageLRU() succeeds. That means the page was fully created
and page->mem_cgroup has been set up. Anybody who now wants to change
page->mem_cgroup needs PageLRU, but we have it, so lruvec is stable.
I.e. cgroup charging does this:
page->mem_cgroup = new_group
lock(pgdat->lru_lock)
SetPageLRU()
add_page_to_lru_list()
unlock(pgdat->lru_lock)
and compaction currently does this:
lock(pgdat->lru_lock)
if (!PageLRU())
goto isolate_fail
// __isolate_lru_page:
if (!get_page_unless_zero())
goto isolate_fail
ClearPageLRU()
del_page_from_lru_list()
unlock(pgdat->lru_lock)
We can replace charging with this:
page->mem_cgroup = new_group
lock(lruvec->lru_lock)
add_page_to_lru_list()
unlock(lruvec->lru_lock)
SetPageLRU()
and the compaction sequence with something like this:
if (!get_page_unless_zero())
goto isolate_fail
if (!TestClearPageLRU())
goto isolate_fail_put
// We got PageLRU, so charging is complete and nobody
// can modify page->mem_cgroup until we set it again.
lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(page, pgdat)
lock(lruvec->lru_lock)
del_page_from_lru_list()
unlock(lruvec->lru_lock)
