P1 P2 Online the first memory block in the movable zone. The pcp struct values are initialized to default values,i.e., pcp->high = 0 & pcp->batch = 1. Allocate the pages from the movable zone. Try to Online the second memory block in the movable zone thus it entered the online_pages() but yet to call zone_pcp_update(). This process is entered into the exit path thus it tries to release the order-0 pages to pcp lists through free_unref_page_commit(). As pcp->high = 0, pcp->count = 1 proceed to call the function free_pcppages_bulk(). Update the pcp values thus the new pcp values are like, say, pcp->high = 378, pcp->batch = 63. Read the pcp's batch value using READ_ONCE() and pass the same to free_pcppages_bulk(), pcp values passed here are, batch = 63, count = 1. Since num of pages in the pcp lists are less than ->batch, then it will stuck in while(list_empty(list)) loop with interrupts disabled thus a core hung. Avoid this by ensuring free_pcppages_bulk() is called with proper count of pcp list pages. The mentioned race is some what easily reproducible without [1] because pcp's are not updated for the first memory block online and thus there is a enough race window for P2 between alloc+free and pcp struct values update through onlining of second memory block. With [1], the race is still exists but it is very much narrow as we update the pcp struct values for the first memory block online itself.
