hugetlb: before freeing hugetlb page set dtor to appropriate value
When removing a hugetlb page from the pool the ref count is set to one (as the free page has no ref count) and compound page destructor is set to NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR. Since a subsequent call to free the hugetlb page will call __free_pages for non-gigantic pages and free_gigantic_page for gigantic pages the destructor is not used. However, consider the following race with code taking a speculative reference on the page: Thread 0 Thread 1 -------- -------- remove_hugetlb_page set_page_refcounted(page); set_compound_page_dtor(page, NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR); get_page_unless_zero(page) __update_and_free_page __free_pages(page, huge_page_order(h)); /* Note that __free_pages() will simply drop the reference to the page. */ put_page(page) __put_compound_page() destroy_compound_page NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 To address this race, set the dtor to the normal compound page dtor for non-gigantic pages. The dtor for gigantic pages does not matter as gigantic pages are changed from a compound page to 'just a group of pages' before freeing. Hence, the destructor is not used.
