From 29c1f677d424e8c5683a837fc4f03fc9f19201d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:47:21 -0800 Subject: mm: migration: use rcu_dereference_protected when dereferencing the radix tree slot during file page migration migrate_pages() -> unmap_and_move() only calls rcu_read_lock() for anonymous pages, as introduced by git commit 989f89c57e6361e7d16fbd9572b5da7d313b073d ("fix rcu_read_lock() in page migraton"). The point of the RCU protection there is part of getting a stable reference to anon_vma and is only held for anon pages as file pages are locked which is sufficient protection against freeing. However, while a file page's mapping is being migrated, the radix tree is double checked to ensure it is the expected page. This uses radix_tree_deref_slot() -> rcu_dereference() without the RCU lock held triggering the following warning.

Users of it must pass in the mapping->tree_lock that is protecting this dereference. Holding the tree lock protects against parallel updaters of the radix tree meaning that rcu_dereference_protected is allowable.
