[PATCH 0/2] Fix compound_head() race

Show all headers | View raw

Here's my attempt on fixing recently discovered race in compound_head().
It should make compound_head() reliable in all contexts.

The patchset is against Linus' tree. Let me know if it need to be rebased
onto different baseline.

It's expected to have conflicts with my page-flags patchset and probably
should be applied before it.

Kirill A. Shutemov (2):
  zsmalloc: use page->private instead of page->first_page
  mm: make compound_head() robust
