mm/migrate: fix race between lock page and clear PG_Isolated
When memory is tight, system may start to compact memory for large continuous memory demands. If one process tries to lock a memory page that is being locked and isolated for compaction, it may wait a long time or even forever. This is because compaction will perform non-atomic PG_Isolated clear while holding page lock, this may overwrite PG_waiters set by the process that can't obtain the page lock and add itself to the waiting queue to wait for the lock to be unlocked. CPU1 CPU2 lock_page(page); (successful) lock_page(); (failed) __ClearPageIsolated(page); SetPageWaiters(page) (may be overwritten) unlock_page(page); The solution is to not perform non-atomic operation on page flags while holding page lock.
