From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2022 14:37:32 +0000 (-0400) Subject: mm: Clear page->private when splitting or migrating a page X-Git-Tag: v5.19-rc4~36^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://repo.jachan.dev/linux.git/commitdiff_plain/b653db77350c mm: Clear page->private when splitting or migrating a page In our efforts to remove uses of PG_private, we have found folios with the private flag clear and folio->private not-NULL. That is the root cause behind 642d51fb0775 ("ceph: check folio PG_private bit instead of folio->private"). It can also affect a few other filesystems that haven't yet reported a problem. compaction_alloc() can return a page with uninitialised page->private, and rather than checking all the callers of migrate_pages(), just zero page->private after calling get_new_page(). Similarly, the tail pages from split_huge_page() may also have an uninitialised page->private.
