While testing 5.2 we ran into the following panic [52238.017028] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000001 [52238.105608] RIP: 0010:drop_buffers+0x3d/0x150 [52238.304051] Call Trace: [52238.308958] try_to_free_buffers+0x15b/0x1b0 [52238.317503] shrink_page_list+0x1164/0x1780 [52238.325877] shrink_inactive_list+0x18f/0x3b0 [52238.334596] shrink_node_memcg+0x23e/0x7d0 [52238.342790] ? do_shrink_slab+0x4f/0x290 [52238.350648] shrink_node+0xce/0x4a0 [52238.357628] balance_pgdat+0x2c7/0x510 [52238.365135] kswapd+0x216/0x3e0 [52238.371425] ? wait_woken+0x80/0x80 [52238.378412] ? balance_pgdat+0x510/0x510 [52238.386265] kthread+0x111/0x130 [52238.392727] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x60/0x60 [52238.401782] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 The page we were trying to drop had a page->private, but had no page->mapping and so called drop_buffers, assuming that we had a buffer_head on the page, and then panic'ed trying to deref 1, which is our page->private for data pages. This is happening because we're truncating the free space cache while we're trying to load the free space cache. This isn't supposed to happen, and I'll fix that in a followup patch. However we still shouldn't allow those sort of mistakes to result in messing with pages that do not belong to us. So add the page->mapping check to verify that we still own this page after dropping and re-acquiring the page lock. This page being unlocked as: btrfs_readpage extent_read_full_page __extent_read_full_page __do_readpage if (!nr) unlock_page <-- nr can be 0 only if submit_extent_page returns an error CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.4+ Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> [ add callchain ] Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
