Subject: mm: page_alloc: use the correct type of list for free pages
Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2023 16:14:28 +0800
Commit bf75f200569d ("mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and
page->pcp_list") introduces page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union
with page->lru, but missed to change get_page_from_free_area() to use
page->buddy_list to clarify the correct type of list for a free page.
