mm/memory_hotplug: set magic number to page->freelist instead of page->lru.next
To identify that pages of page table are allocated from bootmem allocator, magic number sets to page->lru.next. But page->lru list is initialized in reserve_bootmem_region(). So when calling free_pagetable(), the function cannot find the magic number of pages. And free_pagetable() frees the pages by free_reserved_page() not put_page_bootmem(). But if the pages are allocated from bootmem allocator and used as page table, the pages have private flag. So before freeing the pages, we should clear the private flag by put_page_bootmem(). Before applying the commit 7bfec6f47bb0 ("mm, page_alloc: check multiple page fields with a single branch"), we could find the following visible issue: BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/u1024:1 page:ffffea103cfd8040 count:0 mapcount:0 mappi flags: 0x6fffff80000800(private) page dumped because: PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE flag(s) set bad because of flags: 0x800(private) <snip> Call Trace: [...] dump_stack+0x63/0x87 [...] bad_page+0x114/0x130 [...] free_pages_prepare+0x299/0x2d0 [...] free_hot_cold_page+0x31/0x150 [...] __free_pages+0x25/0x30 [...] free_pagetable+0x6f/0xb4 [...] remove_pagetable+0x379/0x7ff [...] vmemmap_free+0x10/0x20 [...] sparse_remove_one_section+0x149/0x180 [...] __remove_pages+0x2e9/0x4f0 [...] arch_remove_memory+0x63/0xc0 [...] remove_memory+0x8c/0xc0 [...] acpi_memory_device_remove+0x79/0xa5 [...] acpi_bus_trim+0x5a/0x8d [...] acpi_bus_trim+0x38/0x8d [...] acpi_device_hotplug+0x1b7/0x418 [...] acpi_hotplug_work_fn+0x1e/0x29 [...] process_one_work+0x152/0x400 [...] worker_thread+0x125/0x4b0 [...] kthread+0xd8/0xf0 [...] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40 And the issue still silently occurs. Until freeing the pages of page table allocated from bootmem allocator, the page->freelist is never used. So the patch sets magic number to page->freelist instead of page->lru.next.
