[patch 03/10] mm/page_alloc: don't corrupt pcppage_migratetype

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Date: 2021-08-20 02:04:16

Subject: mm/page_alloc: don't corrupt pcppage_migratetype

When placing pages on a pcp list, migratetype values over MIGRATE_PCPTYPES
get added to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcp list.

However, the actual migratetype is preserved in the page and should not be
changed to MIGRATE_MOVABLE or the page may end up on the wrong free_list.

The impact is that HIGHATOMIC or CMA pages getting bulk freed from the PCP
lists could potentially end up on the wrong buddy list.  There are various
consequences but minimally NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES accounting could get screwed
up.
