From d5567c9df1ef001b2a7e6684b3b3498371ee4cae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaly Wool Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 16:14:47 -0700 Subject: z3fold: fix potential race in z3fold_reclaim_page It is possible that on a (partially) unsuccessful page reclaim, kref_put() called in z3fold_reclaim_page() does not yield page release, but the page is released shortly afterwards by another thread. Then z3fold_reclaim_page() would try to list_add() that (released) page again which is obviously a bug. To avoid that, spin_lock() has to be taken earlier, before the kref_put() call mentioned earlier.
