commit 4eeec8c89a0c ("mm: move hugetlb specific things in folio to page[3]")
shifted hugetlb specific stuff, and now mapping overlaps _hugetlb_cgroup field.

_hugetlb_cgroup is set to NULL when preparing the hugetlb page in
init_new_hugetlb_folio().
For a better picture, this is page->mapping before and after the comming
for the first three tail pages:

before:
page: fffff51a44358040  0000000000000000
page: fffff51a44358080  0000000000000000
page: fffff51a443580c0  dead000000000400

after:
page: fffff1f0042b0040  0000000000000000
page: fffff1f0042b0080  fffff1f0042b0090
page: fffff1f0042b00c0  0000000000000000

Tail#2 has fffff1f0042b0090 because of the _deferred_list initialization,
which was also shifted, but that is not a problem.

For HVO, upon restoring that gets copied in some tail pages (reset_struct_pages)
and so those tail pages will not have TAIL_MAPPING set and the check
in free_tail_page_prepare() will fail:

 kernel: BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/0:3  pfn:10ac40
 kernel: page does not match folio
 kernel: page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x10ac40

 kernel: page dumped because: corrupted mapping in tail page

Reset _hugetlb_cgroup to TAIL_MAPPING before restoring so tail pages have the
right value.

Hi guys,

Although I can no longer reproduce the issue with this patch, I'm not entirely
sure this is the right way to fix the problem, so I'm open to
suggestions.

Hi,

To handle that for ordinary hugtlb alloc/free I added in that patch in free_tail_page_prepare():

	case 3:
		/* the third tail page: hugetlb specifics overlap ->mappings */
		if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE))
			break;
		fallthrough;
	default:
		if (page->mapping != TAIL_MAPPING) {
			bad_page(page, "corrupted mapping in tail page");
			goto out;
		}
		break;
	}

Now I am confused why that check doesn't catch that?

Apparently only a problem with HVO? Because I recall testing the ordinary alloc/free.

Ah, reading about the HVO hackery in the comment above NR_RESET_STRUCT_PAGE, might the following fix it?

Yes. And the Fixes tag should be

Yap, I was experimenting in parallel with that after sending the patch
and it also fixes the issue, and I think is nicer indeed.

I do not want to step on someone else's fet, so do you want me to send
the patch or will you?

thanks!
