I don't have a solid/stable reproducer for this one, but after some
mixed workloads beating (mempressure + zsmalloc + compiler workload)
with reverted b3ceb05f4bae844f67ce I haven't seen any problems.

So I think you nailed it Minchan!


reverted the entire patch set (for simplicity):

    Revert "mm/compaction: split freepages without holding the zone lock"
    Revert "mm/page_owner: initialize page owner without holding the zone lock"
    Revert "mm/page_owner: copy last_migrate_reason in copy_page_owner()"
    Revert "mm/page_owner: introduce split_page_owner and replace manual handling"
    Revert "tools/vm/page_owner: increase temporary buffer size"
    Revert "mm/page_owner: use stackdepot to store stacktrace"
    Revert "mm/page_owner: avoid null pointer dereference"
    Revert "mm/page_alloc: introduce post allocation processing on page allocator"

adding "mm/compaction: split freepages without holding the zone lock"
back seem to introduce the page->map_count bug after some time.
