From Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst: When adding/removing/onlining/offlining memory or adding/removing heterogeneous/device memory, we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock in write mode to serialise memory hotplug (e.g. access to global/zone variables). mhp_(de)init_memmap_on_memory() functions can change zone stats and struct page content, but they are currently called w/o the mem_hotplug_lock. When memory block is being offlined and when kmemleak goes through each populated zone, the following theoretical race conditions could occur: CPU 0: | CPU 1: memory_offline() | -> offline_pages() | -> mem_hotplug_begin() | ... | -> mem_hotplug_done() | | kmemleak_scan() | -> get_online_mems() | ... -> mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() | [not protected by mem_hotplug_begin/done()]| Marks memory section as offline, | Retrieves zone_start_pfn poisons vmemmap struct pages and updates | and struct page members. the zone related data | | ... | -> put_online_mems() Fix this by ensuring mem_hotplug_lock is taken before performing mhp_init_memmap_on_memory(). Also ensure that mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() holds the lock. online/offline_pages() are currently only called from memory_block_online/offline(), so it is safe to move the locking there.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
