If the PAGE_OWNER is enabled, in __set_page_owner(), the pages will be
allocated to save calltrace info, due to the allocated action is executed
under irq disable(pagesets.lock be held), if the gfp variable contains
the flag that causes sleep, will trigger above information. the
prep_new_page() is not need to disable irq for protection, fix it through
enable irq before call prep_new_page().

Because pagesets.lock is relocked here, the current
thread can be scheduled to another CPU. The @pcp
and @pcp_list need to be reloaded. Otherwise, it is
broken in the next loop.

Thanks.

This will hurt the performance of the bulk allocator a lot because it'll
no longer batch the IRQ disable/enabling and be similar to simply using
the single page allocator. It also impacts the performance even if page
owner tracking is off or disabled in kconfig

Given that this is related to page owner tracking, a more straight
forward basic fix is the following untested patch

There are other ways it could be done. Given it's struct page pointers,
the least significant bit could be used to track pages that need to be
prepped and then iterate through the list/array to prep newly allocated
pages. It's not clear it's worth the complexity though unless there are
really interesting use cases where page owner is enabled in production.
