+Subject: mm: numa: avoid waiting on freed migrated pages
+
+From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>
+
+commit 3c226c637b69104f6b9f1c6ec5b08d7b741b3229 upstream.
+
+In do_huge_pmd_numa_page(), we attempt to handle a migrating thp pmd by
+waiting until the pmd is unlocked before we return and retry.  However,
+we can race with migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page():
+
+    // do_huge_pmd_numa_page                // migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
+    // Holds 0 refs on page                 // Holds 2 refs on page
+
+    vmf->ptl = pmd_lock(vma->vm_mm, vmf->pmd);
+    /* ... */
+    if (pmd_trans_migrating(*vmf->pmd)) {
+            page = pmd_page(*vmf->pmd);
+            spin_unlock(vmf->ptl);
+                                            ptl = pmd_lock(mm, pmd);
+                                            if (page_count(page) != 2)) {
+                                                    /* roll back */
+                                            }
+                                            /* ... */
+                                            mlock_migrate_page(new_page, page);
+                                            /* ... */
+                                            spin_unlock(ptl);
+                                            put_page(page);
+                                            put_page(page); // page freed here
+            wait_on_page_locked(page);
+            goto out;
+    }
+
+This can result in the freed page having its waiters flag set
+unexpectedly, which trips the PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP checks in the
+page alloc/free functions.  This has been observed on arm64 KVM guests.
+
+We can avoid this by having do_huge_pmd_numa_page() take a reference on
+the page before dropping the pmd lock, mirroring what we do in
+__migration_entry_wait().
+
+When we hit the race, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() will see the
+reference and abort the migration, as it may do today in other cases.
+
