In mm/memcontrol.c::mem_cgroup_move_parent() there's a path that jumps to the 'put_back' label ret = __mem_cgroup_try_charge(NULL, gfp_mask, &parent, false, charge); if (ret || !parent) goto put_back; where we'll if (charge > PAGE_SIZE) compound_unlock_irqrestore(page, flags); but, we have not assigned anything to 'flags' at this point, nor have we called 'compound_lock_irqsave()' (which is what sets 'flags'). So, I believe the 'put_back' label should be moved below the call to compound_unlock_irqrestore() as per this patch.
