Hi,

Let me share the update below. Two changes:
- hold hugetlb_lock in hugetlb path,
- added Fixes tag and cc to stable. I limited the stable branch only to 5.12+
due to the dependency on HPage* pseudo flags.

Subject: [PATCH] mm,hwpoison: fix race with compound page allocation

When hugetlb page fault (under overcommiting 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 page refcount before taking additional
one for memory error handling, which is wrong because there's time
windows where compound pages have non-zero refcount during initialization.

So makes __get_hwpoison_page() check more page status for a few types
of compound pages. PageSlab() check is added because otherwise
"non anonymous thp" path is wrongly chosen.
