Subject: [PATCH 08/13] mm/page_alloc: route unaccepted isolated pages
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 02:56:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027025616.1632690-9-kevinloughlin@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027025616.1632690-1-kevinloughlin@google.com>
When free page reporting unaccepts isolated pages on confidential
computing guests, __putback_isolated_page() must not return those
unaccepted pages directly to zone->free_area; doing so would violate the
allocator invariant that all pages on zone->free_area are accepted.
Update __putback_isolated_page(), __free_pages_ok(),
__free_frozen_pages(), and free_unref_folios() to route dynamically
unaccepted pages to zone->unaccepted_pages via __free_unaccepted_locked()
(falling back to immediate acceptance for isolated or CMA pageblocks).
In addition:
- Extract free_pages_prepare_init() so post-acceptance poisoning,
zeroing, KASAN tagging, arch_free_page(), and debug_pagealloc
unmapping run after accept_memory() without touching unaccepted pages
in __free_pages_prepare() or re-running metadata teardown in
__accept_page().
- Pass FPI_SKIP_REPORT_NOTIFY when __accept_page() frees a freshly
accepted block into the buddy allocator so it is not immediately
re-queued for free page reporting before allocation.
