Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next/mm V1 3/3] mm/page_pool: catch page_pool memory
 leaks

Pages belonging to a page_pool (PP) instance must be freed through the
PP APIs in-order to correctly release any DMA mappings and release
refcnt on the DMA device when freeing PP instance. When PP release a
page (page_pool_release_page) the page->pp_magic value is cleared.

This patch detect a leaked PP page in free_page_is_bad() via
unexpected state of page->pp_magic value being PP_SIGNATURE.

We choose to report and treat it as a bad page. It would be possible
to release the page via returning it to the PP instance as the
page->pp pointer is likely still valid.

Notice this code is only activated when either compiled with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM or boot cmdline debug_pagealloc=on, and
CONFIG_PAGE_POOL.

Reduced example output of leak with PP_SIGNATURE = dead000000000040:
