mm/hugetlb: fix potential race in __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio()
There is a potential race between __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() and try_memory_failure_hugetlb(): CPU1 CPU2 __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio try_memory_failure_hugetlb folio_test_hugetlb -- It's still hugetlb folio. folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison spin_lock_irq(&hugetlb_lock); __get_huge_page_for_hwpoison folio_set_hugetlb_hwpoison spin_unlock_irq(&hugetlb_lock); spin_lock_irq(&hugetlb_lock); __folio_clear_hugetlb(folio); -- Hugetlb flag is cleared but too late. spin_unlock_irq(&hugetlb_lock); When the above race occurs, raw error page info will be leaked. Even worse, raw error pages won't have hwpoisoned flag set and hit pcplists/buddy. Fix this issue by deferring folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() until __folio_clear_hugetlb() is done. So all raw error pages will have hwpoisoned flag set.
