[PATCH 4.9 03/77] mm: prevent double decrease of nr_reserved_highatomic

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>

commit 4855e4a7f29d6d10b0b9c84e189c770c9a94e91e upstream.

There is race between page freeing and unreserved highatomic.

 CPU 0				    CPU 1

    free_hot_cold_page
      mt = get_pfnblock_migratetype
      set_pcppage_migratetype(page, mt)
    				    unreserve_highatomic_pageblock
    				    spin_lock_irqsave(&zone->lock)
    				    move_freepages_block
    				    set_pageblock_migratetype(page)
    				    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lock)
      free_pcppages_bulk
        __free_one_page(mt) <- mt is stale

By above race, a page on CPU 0 could go non-highorderatomic free list
since the pageblock's type is changed.  By that, unreserve logic of
highorderatomic can decrease reserved count on a same pageblock severak
times and then it will make mismatch between nr_reserved_highatomic and
the number of reserved pageblock.

So, this patch verifies whether the pageblock is highatomic or not and
decrease the count only if the pageblock is highatomic.
