Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
c89a384e25
When removing rmap_item from stable tree, STABLE_FLAG of rmap_item is
cleared with head reserved. So the following scenario might happen: For
ksm page with rmap_item1:
cmp_and_merge_page
stable_node->head = &migrate_nodes;
remove_rmap_item_from_tree, but head still equal to stable_node;
try_to_merge_with_ksm_page failed;
return;
For the same ksm page with rmap_item2, stable node migration succeed this
time. The stable_node->head does not equal to migrate_nodes now. For ksm
page with rmap_item1 again:
cmp_and_merge_page
stable_node->head != &migrate_nodes && rmap_item->head == stable_node
return;
We would miss the rmap_item for stable_node and might result in failed
rmap_walk_ksm(). Fix this by set rmap_item->head to NULL when rmap_item
is removed from stable tree.

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.
