[PATCH v2] mm/page_alloc.c: avoid accessing uninitialized pcp page migratetype

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Thu Sep 02 2021 - 07:54:38 EST


If it's not prepared to free unref page, the pcp page migratetype is
unset. Thus We will get rubbish from get_pcppage_migratetype() and
might list_del &page->lru again after it's already deleted from the
list leading to grumble about data corruption.
