Vlastimil Babka 5556cfe8d9 mm, page_owner: fix off-by-one error in __set_page_owner_handle()
Patch series "followups to debug_pagealloc improvements through
page_owner", v3.

These are followups to [1] which made it to Linus meanwhile.  Patches 1
and 3 are based on Kirill's review, patch 2 on KASAN request [2].  It
would be nice if all of this made it to 5.4 with [1] already there (or
at least Patch 1).

This patch (of 3):

As noted by Kirill, commit 7e2f2a0cd1 ("mm, page_owner: record page
owner for each subpage") has introduced an off-by-one error in
__set_page_owner_handle() when looking up page_ext for subpages.  As a
result, the head page page_owner info is set twice, while for the last
tail page, it's not set at all.

Fix this and also make the code more efficient by advancing the page_ext
pointer we already have, instead of calling lookup_page_ext() for each
subpage.  Since the full size of struct page_ext is not known at compile
time, we can't use a simple page_ext++ statement, so introduce a
page_ext_next() inline function for that.

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.
