From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> While running the mcelog test suite on 3.14 I hit the following VM_BUG_ON:
soft_offline: 0x56d4: unknown non LRU page type 3ffff800008000 page:ffffea000015b400 count:3 mapcount:2097169 mapping: (null) index:0xffff8800056d7000 page flags: 0x3ffff800004081(locked|slab|head) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1495! I think what happened is that a LRU page turned into a slab page in parallel with offlining. memory_failure initially tests for this case, but doesn't retest later after the page has been locked. This patch fixes this race. It also check for the case that the page changed compound pages. Unfortunately since it's a race I wasn't able to reproduce later, so the specific case is not tested.
