Subject: [patch 14/15] mm: fix the deadlock in finish_fault()
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 15:50:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210723225041.VB3Yq9fkx%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)

Subject: mm: fix the deadlock in finish_fault()

Commit 63f3655f9501 ("mm, memcg: fix reclaim deadlock with writeback") fix
the following ABBA deadlock by pre-allocating the pte page table without
holding the page lock.

	                                lock_page(A)
                                        SetPageWriteback(A)
                                        unlock_page(A)
  lock_page(B)
                                        lock_page(B)
  pte_alloc_one
    shrink_page_list
      wait_on_page_writeback(A)
                                        SetPageWriteback(B)
                                        unlock_page(B)

                                        # flush A, B to clear the writeback

Commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") rework the relevant code but ignore this race.  This will
cause the deadlock above to appear again, so fix it.
