Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: fix races accessing page->_count This is illegal to use atomic_set(&page->_count, ...) even if we 'own' the page. Other entities in the kernel need to use get_page_unless_zero() to get a reference to the page before testing page properties, so we could loose a refcount increment. The only case it is valid is when page->_count is 0, we can use this in __netdev_alloc_frag() Note that I never seen crashes caused by these races, the issue was reported by Andres Lagar-Cavilla and Hugh Dickins. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
