Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 0275e4021b mm: always initialise folio->_deferred_list
commit b7b098cf00a2b65d5654a86dc8edf82f125289c1 upstream.

Patch series "Various significant MM patches".

These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send
them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really
an overarching theme to connect them.

The big effects of this patch series are:

 - folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a
   page reference
 - We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags
 - We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount()

This patch (of 9):

For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page
is not part of a deferred list.  We recently found this useful to rule out
a source of corruption.

[ Include three small changes from the upstream commit, for backport safety:
  replace list_del() by list_del_init() in split_huge_page_to_list(),
  like c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower order pages");
  replace list_del() by list_del_init() in folio_undo_large_rmappable(), like
  9bcef5973e31 ("mm: memcg: fix split queue list crash when large folio migration");
  keep __free_pages() instead of folio_put() in __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio(). ]

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
