I am seeing some free memory accounting problems with linux-next that I have bisected to this commit (i.e. b2c9e2fbba32 ("mm: make alloc_contig_range work at pageblock granularity").
On an arm64 SMP platform with 4GB total memory and the default 16MB default CMA pool, I am seeing the following after boot with a sysrq Show Memory (e.g. 'echo m > /proc/sysrq-trigger'):

Some anomolies in the above are:
free_cma:7017 with only 4096 pages cma reserved
DMA free:3041036kB with only managed:3029992kB
I'm not sure what is going on here, but I am suspicious of split_free_page() since del_page_from_free_list doesn't affect migrate_type accounting, but __free_one_page() can.
Also PageBuddy(page) is being checked without zone->lock in isolate_single_pageblock().
Please investigate this as well.
Can you try this patch https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220524194756.1698351-1-zi.yan@xxxxxxxx/
and see if it fixes the issue?
Thanks.
The last hunk didn't apply directly to this commit, but I was able to
apply the patch to linux-next/master with no improvement to the free
memory accounting (actually anecdotaly worse):
