It's worth summarizing that a) free_pages_prepare() will clear both flags via page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP; b) free_pages_prepare() will bail out if any flag is set in check_free_page(). As we've never seen b) in the wild, this certainly has low priority, and maybe it really cannot happen right now. However, maybe really allowing these flags to be set when freeing the page and removing the "page_count(page) == 1" case from migration code would be the clean thing to do. -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
