Syzbot reported a bad page state problem caused by a page being freed using free_page() still having a mlocked flag at free_pages_prepare() stage: BUG: Bad page state in process syz.0.15 pfn:1137bb page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0xffff8881137bb870 pfn:0x1137bb flags: 0x400000000080000(mlocked|node=0|zone=1) raw: 0400000000080000 0000000000000000 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 raw: ffff8881137bb870 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE flag(s) set page_owner tracks the page as allocated page last allocated via order 0, migratetype Unmovable, gfp_mask 0x400dc0(GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT|__GFP_ZERO), pid 3005, tgid 3004 (syz.0.15), ts 61546 608067, free_ts 61390082085 set_page_owner include/linux/page_owner.h:32 [inline] post_alloc_hook+0x1f3/0x230 mm/page_alloc.c:1537 prep_new_page mm/page_alloc.c:1545 [inline] get_page_from_freelist+0x3008/0x31f0 mm/page_alloc.c:3457 __alloc_pages_noprof+0x292/0x7b0 mm/page_alloc.c:4733 alloc_pages_mpol_noprof+0x3e8/0x630 mm/mempolicy.c:2265 kvm_coalesced_mmio_init+0x1f/0xf0 virt/kvm/coalesced_mmio.c:99 kvm_create_vm virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:1235 [inline] kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vm virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:5500 [inline] kvm_dev_ioctl+0x13bb/0x2320 virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:5542 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:907 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0xf9/0x170 fs/ioctl.c:893 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x69/0x110 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e page last free pid 951 tgid 951 stack trace: reset_page_owner include/linux/page_owner.h:25 [inline] free_pages_prepare mm/page_alloc.c:1108 [inline] free_unref_page+0xcb1/0xf00 mm/page_alloc.c:2638 vfree+0x181/0x2e0 mm/vmalloc.c:3361 delayed_vfree_work+0x56/0x80 mm/vmalloc.c:3282 process_one_work kernel/workqueue.c:3229 [inline] process_scheduled_works+0xa5c/0x17a0 kernel/workqueue.c:3310 worker_thread+0xa2b/0xf70 kernel/workqueue.c:3391 kthread+0x2df/0x370 kernel/kthread.c:389 ret_from_fork+0x4b/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:244 A reproducer is available here: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.c?x=1437939f980000 The problem was originally introduced by commit b109b87050df ("mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final clearance"): it was handling focused on handling pagecache and anonymous memory and wasn't suitable for lower level get_page()/free_page() API's used for example by KVM, as with this reproducer. Fix it by moving the mlocked flag clearance down to free_page_prepare(). The bug itself if fairly old and harmless (aside from generating these warnings).
