From 97d255c816946388bab504122937730d3447c612 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:42:59 -0700 Subject: mm: do not use page_count() without a page pin d179e84ba ("mm: vmscan: do not use page_count without a page pin") fixed this problem in vmscan.c but same problem is in __count_immobile_pages(). I copy and paste d179e84ba's contents for description. "It is unsafe to run page_count during the physical pfn scan because compound_head could trip on a dangling pointer when reading page->first_page if the compound page is being freed by another CPU."
