mm, page_alloc: keep pcp count and list contents in sync if struct page is corrupted
Vlastimil Babka pointed out that commit 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") will allow the per-cpu list counter to be out of sync with the per-cpu list contents if a struct page is corrupted. The consequence is an infinite loop if the per-cpu lists get fully drained by free_pcppages_bulk because all the lists are empty but the count is positive. The infinite loop occurs here do { batch_free++; if (++migratetype == MIGRATE_PCPTYPES) migratetype = 0; list = &pcp->lists[migratetype]; } while (list_empty(list)); What the user sees is a bad page warning followed by a soft lockup with interrupts disabled in free_pcppages_bulk(). This patch keeps the accounting in sync.
