pcluster should be only set up for all managed pages instead of
temporary pages. Since it currently uses page->mapping to identify,
the impact is minor for now.

I was looking exactly at this problem recently, my change is one-to-one
to your fix, thus I can provide a tag:

Tested-by: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vladimir@xxxxxxxxxx>

Many thanks for confirming this!
I found this when I was killing magical stagingpage page->mapping,
it's somewhat late :-)


sure, for me it was an exciting immersion into the filesystem code :)



The fixed problem is minor, but the kernel log becomes polluted, if
a page allocation debug option is enabled:

Yeah, I can make a pull-request to Linus if you need this to be in master
now, or I can post it for v5.11-rc1 since 5.4 LTS isn't effected (and it
would be only a print problem with debugging option.)


As for myself I don't utterly need this fix on the master branch ASAP, however
it might be reasonable to get it included right into the next v5.10 release,
because I believe it'll be an LTS. Eventually it's up to you to make a decision,
from my side I won't urge you, the fixed issue is obviously a non-critical one.

Thank you for the original fix and taking my opinion into consideration :)
