mm: prevent double decrease of nr_reserved_highatomic
There is race between page freeing and unreserved highatomic.
CPU 0 CPU 1
free_hot_cold_page
mt = get_pfnblock_migratetype
set_pcppage_migratetype(page, mt)
unreserve_highatomic_pageblock
spin_lock_irqsave(&zone->lock)
move_freepages_block
set_pageblock_migratetype(page)
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lock)
free_pcppages_bulk
__free_one_page(mt) <- mt is stale
By above race, a page on CPU 0 could go non-highorderatomic free list
since the pageblock's type is changed. By that, unreserve logic of
highorderatomic can decrease reserved count on a same pageblock severak
times and then it will make mismatch between nr_reserved_highatomic and
the number of reserved pageblock.
So, this patch verifies whether the pageblock is highatomic or not and
decrease the count only if the pageblock is highatomic.
