Subject: [PATCH v2] mm, dump_page: do not crash with bad compound_mapcount()

If a compound page is being split while dump_page() is being run on that
page, we can end up calling compound_mapcount() on a page that is no
longer compound. This leads to a crash (already seen at least once in
the field), due to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() assertion inside
compound_mapcount().

(The above is from Matthew Wilcox's analysis of Qian Cai's bug report.)

A similar problem is possible, via compound_pincount() instead of
compound_mapcount().

In order to avoid this kind of crash, make dump_page() slightly more
robust, by providing a pair of simpler routines that don't contain
assertions: head_mapcount() and head_pincount().

For debug tools, we don't want to go *too* far in this direction, but
this is a simple small fix, and the crash has already been seen, so it's
a good trade-off.

Hi,

I'm assuming that a fix is not required for -stable, but let me know if
others feel differently. The dump_page() code has changed a lot in that
area.

Changes since v1 [1]:

1) Rebased onto mmotm

2) Used a simpler head_*count() approach.

3) Added Matthew's Suggested-by: tag

4) Support pincount as well as mapcount.

thanks,
