Subject: [PATCH review for 4.9 22/50] mm/memory_hotplug: set magic number to
 page->freelist instead of page->lru.next

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <yasu.isimatu@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit ddffe98d166f4a93d996d5aa628fd745311fc1e7 ]

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>

  [...] 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.
