[PATCH v2 0/5] mm, page_alloc: several stable fixes

From: Vlastimil Babka (SUSE)

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 13:10:00 EST


A bunch of fixes from Josef, filtered for page allocator by David.

I have tweaked some commit logs and a comment in one case.

In v2 some were dropped as they were merged already, the last one was
changed to fix things differently. "mm/compaction: trust
zone->contiguous only in the span" was dropped due to lots of sashiko
feedback. compaction (as a pfn scanner) needs much more thought

Based on page_alloc/for-next-fixes, to be applied there as well.
