commit 9683182612214aa5f5e709fad49444b847cd866a upstream.
There is a race during page offline that can lead to infinite loop:
a page never ends up on a buddy list and __offline_pages() keeps
retrying infinitely or until a termination signal is received.
Thread#1 - a new process:
load_elf_binary
begin_new_exec
exec_mmap
mmput
exit_mmap
tlb_finish_mmu
tlb_flush_mmu
release_pages
free_unref_page_list
free_unref_page_prepare
set_pcppage_migratetype(page, migratetype);
// Set page->index migration type below MIGRATE_PCPTYPES
Thread#2 - hot-removes memory
__offline_pages
start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
set_pageblock_migratetype(page, MIGRATE_ISOLATE);
Set migration type to MIGRATE_ISOLATE-> set
drain_all_pages(zone);
// drain per-cpu page lists to buddy allocator.
Thread#1 - continue
free_unref_page_commit
migratetype = get_pcppage_migratetype(page);
// get old migration type
list_add(&page->lru, &pcp->lists[migratetype]);
// add new page to already drained pcp list
Thread#2
Never drains pcp again, and therefore gets stuck in the loop.
The fix is to try to drain per-cpu lists again after
check_pages_isolated_cb() fails.
Fixes: c52e75935f8d ("mm: remove extra drain pages on pcp list")

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.
