[PATCH] mm/page_alloc: check high-order pages for corruption during PCP operations

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Thu Mar 10 2022 - 04:25:06 EST


Eric Dumazet pointed out that commit 44042b449872 ("mm/page_alloc: allow
high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists") only checks the head
page during PCP refill and allocation operations. This was an oversight
and all pages should be checked. This will incur a small performance
penalty but it's necessary for correctness.

Fixes: 44042b449872 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists")
