There are two addresses selected: random virtual address and physical address corresponding to kernel symbol @start_kernel. During the PMD tests in pmd_advanced_tests(), the physical address is aligned down to the starting address of the huge page, whose size is 512MB on ARM64 when we have 64KB base page size. After that, set_pmd_at() is called to populate the PMD entry. PG_arch_1, PG_dcache_clean on ARM64, is set to the page flags. Unforunately, the page, corresponding to the starting address of the huge page could be owned by buddy. It means PG_arch_1 can be unconditionally set to page owned by buddy. Afterwards, the page with PG_arch_1 set is fetched from buddy's free area list, but fails the checking. It leads to the following warning on ARM64: BUG: Bad page state in process memhog pfn:08000 page:0000000015c0a628 refcount:0 mapcount:0 \ mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x1 pfn:0x8000 flags: 0x7ffff8000000800(arch_1|node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0xfffff) raw: 07ffff8000000800 dead000000000100 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP flag(s) set This fixes the issue by calling flush_dcache_page() after each call to set_{pud, pmd, pte}_at() because PG_arch_1 isn't needed in any case.
