Thanks! Now, I can re-generate erronous situation you mentioned.

[1] would not be sufficient to close this race.

Try following things [A]. And, for more accurate test, I changed code a bit more
to prevent kernel page allocation from cma area [B]. This will prevent kernel
page allocation from cma area completely so we can focus cma_alloc/release race.

Although, this is not correct fix, it could help that we can guess
where the problem is.

Thanks.

I tested this solution [A], it can fix the problem, as you are posting a new patch, I will
test that one and leave [B] alone :)

As I replied in previous email, the solution will fix the problem, the Cma freed memory and
system freed memory is in sane state after apply above patch.

I also tested this situation which only apply the code below:

        if (migratetype >= MIGRATE_PCPTYPES) {
-               if (unlikely(is_migrate_isolate(migratetype))) {
+               if (is_migrate_cma(migratetype) ||
+                       unlikely(is_migrate_isolate(migratetype))) {
                        free_one_page(zone, page, pfn, 0, migratetype);
                        goto out;
                }


This will not fix the problem, but will reduce the errorous freed number of memory,
hope this helps.

mm/page_alloc.c: In function ‘prep_new_page’:

   page_ref_dec(page);

Typo?

I tested with linux-next and there is new mechanism to manipulate page
reference count and this is that. You can have same effect with
atomic_dec(&page->_count) in mainline kernel.

Hi Joonsoo,

How does this problem happen? Why the count is larger than total?

Patch A prevent the cma page free to pcp, right?

...
-               if (unlikely(is_migrate_isolate(migratetype))) {
+               if (is_migrate_cma(migratetype) ||
+                       unlikely(is_migrate_isolate(migratetype))) {
...

Thanks,
Xishi Qiu

Even without free to pcp, bad merging could happen. Please see another
