alloc_nid_failed and scan_nat_page can be called at the same time, and we haven't protected add_free_nid and update_free_nid_bitmap with the same nid_list_lock. That could lead to Thread A Thread B - __build_free_nids - scan_nat_page - add_free_nid - alloc_nid_failed - update_free_nid_bitmap - update_free_nid_bitmap scan_nat_page will clear the free bitmap since the nid is PREALLOC_NID, but alloc_nid_failed needs to set the free bitmap. This results in free nid with free bitmap cleared. This patch update the bitmap under the same nid_list_lock in add_free_nid. And use __GFP_NOFAIL to make sure to update status of free nid correctly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
