[PATCH v5 12/12] mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Fix corrupted page flag

From: Gavin Shan
Date: Mon Aug 02 2021 - 02:06:04 EST


In page table entry modifying tests, set_xxx_at() are used to populate
the page table entries. On ARM64, PG_arch_1 (PG_dcache_clean) flag is
set to the target page flag if execution permission is given. The logic
exits since commit 4f04d8f00545 ("arm64: MMU definitions"). The page
flag is kept when the page is free'd to buddy's free area list. However,
it will trigger page checking failure when it's pulled from the buddy's
free area list, as the following warning messages indicate.

BUG: Bad page state in process memhog pfn:08000
page:0000000015c0a628 refcount:0 mapcount:0 \
mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x1 pfn:0x8000
flags: 0x7ffff8000000800(arch_1|node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0xfffff)
raw: 07ffff8000000800 dead000000000100 dead000000000122 0000000000000000
raw: 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000
page dumped because: PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP flag(s) set

This fixes the issue by clearing PG_arch_1 through flush_dcache_page()
after set_xxx_at() is called. For architectures other than ARM64, the
unexpected overhead of cache flushing is acceptable.
