With deferred struct page feature enabled, however, we set fields in register_page_bootmem_info that are subsequently clobbered right after in free_all_bootmem: mem_init() { register_page_bootmem_info(); free_all_bootmem(); ... } When register_page_bootmem_info() is called only non-deferred struct pages are initialized. But, this function goes through some reserved pages which might be part of the deferred, and thus are not yet initialized. mem_init register_page_bootmem_info register_page_bootmem_info_node get_page_bootmem .. setting fields here .. such as: page->freelist = (void *)type; free_all_bootmem() free_low_memory_core_early() for_each_reserved_mem_region() reserve_bootmem_region() init_reserved_page() <- Only if this is deferred reserved page __init_single_pfn() __init_single_page() memset(0) <-- Loose the set fields here We end-up with issue where, currently we do not observe problem as memory is explicitly zeroed. But, if flag asserts are changed we can start hitting issues. Also, because in this patch series we will stop zeroing struct page memory during allocation, we must make sure that struct pages are properly initialized prior to using them. The deferred-reserved pages are initialized in free_all_bootmem(). Therefore, the fix is to switch the above calls.
