Subject: mm/shmem: do not wait for lock_page() in shmem_unused_huge_shrink()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f5dad0409a72a16136c64bbdcf9bcf75c2e51246;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mm/shmem: do not wait for lock_page() in shmem_unused_huge_shrink()

commit b3cd54b257ad95d344d121dc563d943ca39b0921 upstream.

shmem_unused_huge_shrink() gets called from reclaim path.  Waiting for
page lock may lead to deadlock there.

There was a bug report that may be attributed to this:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.11.1801242349220.30642@mail.ewheeler.net

Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed
to lock it.  We will get to the page on the next scan.

We can test for the PageTransHuge() outside the page lock as we only
need protection against splitting the page under us.  Holding pin oni
the page is enough for this.
