Gerald Schaefer ba9c1201be mm/hugetlb: clear compound_nr before freeing gigantic pages
Commit 1378a5ee45 ("mm: store compound_nr as well as compound_order")
added compound_nr counter to first tail struct page, overlaying with
page->mapping.  The overlay itself is fine, but while freeing gigantic
hugepages via free_contig_range(), a "bad page" check will trigger for
non-NULL page->mapping on the first tail page:

  BUG: Bad page state in process bash  pfn:380001

  Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

This is because only the compound_order is cleared in
destroy_compound_gigantic_page(), and compound_nr is set to
1U << order == 1 for order 0 in set_compound_order(page, 0).

Fix this by explicitly clearing compound_nr for first tail page after
calling set_compound_order(page, 0).

README

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.
