From Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst:
When adding/removing/onlining/offlining memory or adding/removing
heterogeneous/device memory, we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock
in write mode to serialise memory hotplug (e.g. access to global/zone
variables).
mhp_(de)init_memmap_on_memory() functions can change zone stats and
struct page content, but they are currently called w/o the
mem_hotplug_lock.
When memory block is being offlined and when kmemleak goes through each
populated zone, the following theoretical race conditions could occur:
CPU 0: | CPU 1:
memory_offline() |
-> offline_pages() |
-> mem_hotplug_begin() |
... |
-> mem_hotplug_done() |
| kmemleak_scan()
| -> get_online_mems()
| ...
-> mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() |
[not protected by mem_hotplug_begin/done()]|
Marks memory section as offline, | Retrieves zone_start_pfn
poisons vmemmap struct pages and updates | and struct page members.
the zone related data |
| ...
| -> put_online_mems()
Fix this by ensuring mem_hotplug_lock is taken before performing
mhp_init_memmap_on_memory(). Also ensure that
mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() holds the lock.
online/offline_pages() are currently only called from
memory_block_online/offline(), so it is safe to move the locking there.

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.
