Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] mm/page_isolation: guard compound_order() against racing
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 20:05:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825120549.966271-3-xiqi2@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825120549.966271-1-xiqi2@huawei.com>

The PageCompound branch reads compound_head() without holding a reference.
A racing split or free can cause compound_head() to return a stale pointer,
and compound_nr() reads the order from that stale head, leading to
out-of-range shifts and making the skip distance meaningless.

Read the order explicitly with compound_order() and validate it is within
MAX_FOLIO_ORDER before shifting. Also verify the derived head_pfn against
the legitimate pfn: the head must not be past pfn, must be aligned to
nr_pages, and pfn must fall within the compound page. Bail out with
-EBUSY if any check fails.

Fixes: b2c9e2fbba32 ("mm: make alloc_contig_range work at pageblock granularity")
