Yes, I have cleared the PG_trackleak since v2 as you suggested.
However, IMHO, the page which has page type should be skipped for
mapcount check. The present problem is there is no invoking of
free_pages_prepare within the chain of
drain_pages_zone->free_pcppages_bulk, special pages with
page->type(PG_guard and PG_trackleak etc) will be leaked as
bulkfree_pcp_prepare will deem it as bad by checking the mapcount.
