From 5aae9265ee1a30cf716d6caf6b29fe99b9d55130 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2022 00:51:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: prep_compound_tail() clear page->private Although page allocation always clears page->private in the first page or head page of an allocation, it has never made a point of clearing page->private in the tails (though 0 is often what is already there). But now commit 71e2d666ef85 ("mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t during THP split") issues a warning when page_tail->private is found to be non-0 (unless it's swapcache). Change that warning to dump page_tail (which also dumps head), instead of just the head: so far we have seen dead000000000122, dead000000000003, dead000000000001 or 0000000000000002 in the raw output for tail private. We could just delete the warning, but today's consensus appears to want page->private to be 0, unless there's a good reason for it to be set: so now clear it in prep_compound_tail() (more general than just for THP; but not for high order allocation, which makes no pass down the tails).
