From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange at redhat.com>
If merge_across_nodes was manually set to 0 (not the default value) by
the admin or a tuned profile on NUMA systems triggering cross-NODE
page migrations, a stable_node use after free could materialize.
If the chain is collapsed stable_node would point to the old chain
that was already freed. stable_node_dup would be the stable_node dup
now converted to a regular stable_node and indexed in the rbtree in
replacement of the freed stable_node chain (not anymore a dup).
This special case where the chain is collapsed in the NUMA replacement
path, is now detected by setting stable_node to NULL by the
chain_prune callee if it decides to collapse the chain. This tells the
NUMA replacement code that even if stable_node and stable_node_dup are
different, this is not a chain if stable_node is NULL, as the
stable_node_dup was converted to a regular stable_node and the chain
was collapsed.
It is generally safer for the callee to force the caller stable_node
to NULL the moment it become stale so any other mistake like this
would result in an instant Oops easier to debug than an use after free.
Otherwise the replace logic would act like if stable_node was a valid
chain, when in fact it was freed. Notably
stable_node_chain_add_dup(page_node, stable_node) would run on a
stable stable_node.
Andrey Ryabinin found the source of the use after free in
chain_prune().
