mm: strictly require elevated page refcount in isolate_lru_page()
isolate_lru_page() must be called only with stable reference to the page, this is what is written in the comment above it, this is reasonable. current isolate_lru_page() users and its page extra reference sources: mm/huge_memory.c: __collapse_huge_page_isolate() - reference from pte mm/memcontrol.c: mem_cgroup_move_parent() - get_page_unless_zero() mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() - reference from pte mm/memory-failure.c: soft_offline_page() - fixed, reference from get_any_page() delete_from_lru_cache() - reference from caller or get_page_unless_zero() [ seems like there bug, because __memory_failure() can call page_action() for hpages tail, but it is ok for isolate_lru_page(), tail getted and not in lru] mm/memory_hotplug.c: do_migrate_range() - fixed, get_page_unless_zero() mm/mempolicy.c: migrate_page_add() - reference from pte mm/migrate.c: do_move_page_to_node_array() - reference from follow_page() mlock.c: - various external references mm/vmscan.c: putback_lru_page() - reference from isolate_lru_page() It seems that all isolate_lru_page() users are ready now for this restriction. So, let's replace redundant get_page_unless_zero() with get_page() and add page initial reference count check with VM_BUG_ON() Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
