When hugetlb page fault (under overcommitting situation) and
memory_failure() race, VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is triggered by the following
race:
CPU0: CPU1:
gather_surplus_pages()
page = alloc_surplus_huge_page()
memory_failure_hugetlb()
get_hwpoison_page(page)
__get_hwpoison_page(page)
get_page_unless_zero(page)
zero = put_page_testzero(page)
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zero, page)
enqueue_huge_page(h, page)
put_page(page)
__get_hwpoison_page() only checks the page refcount before taking an
additional one for memory error handling, which is not enough because
there's a time window where compound pages have non-zero refcount during
hugetlb page initialization.
So make __get_hwpoison_page() check page status a bit more for hugetlb
pages with get_hwpoison_huge_page(). Checking hugetlb-specific flags
under hugetlb_lock makes sure that the hugetlb page is not transitive.
It's notable that another new function, HWPoisonHandlable(), is helpful
to prevent a race against other transitive page states (like a generic
compound page just before PageHuge becomes true).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
