[PATCH] zsmalloc: fix migrate_zspage-zs_free race condition

From: Junil Lee
Date: Thu Jan 14 2016 - 19:37:23 EST


To prevent unlock at the not correct situation, tagging the new obj to
assure lock in migrate_zspage() before right unlock path.

Two functions are in race condition by tag which set 1 on last bit of
obj, however unlock succrently when update new obj to handle before call
unpin_tag() which is right unlock path.

summarize this problem by call flow as below:

CPU0 CPU1
migrate_zspage
find_alloced_obj()
trypin_tag() -- obj |= HANDLE_PIN_BIT
obj_malloc() -- new obj is not set zs_free
record_obj() -- unlock and break sync pin_tag() -- get lock
unpin_tag()
