    mm/page_alloc.c: call kernel_map_pages in unset_migrateype_isolate · cfa86943
    Laura Abbott authored
    Commit 3c605096 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on
    isolated pageblock") changed the logic of unset_migratetype_isolate to
    check the buddy allocator and explicitly call __free_pages to merge.
    
    The page that is being freed in this path never had prep_new_page called
    so set_page_refcounted is called explicitly but there is no call to
    kernel_map_pages.  With the default kernel_map_pages this is mostly
    harmless but if kernel_map_pages does any manipulation of the page
    tables (unmapping or setting pages to read only) this may trigger a
    fault:
    
        alloc_contig_range test_pages_isolated(ceb00, ced00) failed
        Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffc0cec00000
        pgd = ffffffc045fc4000
        [ffffffc0cec00000] *pgd=0000000000000000

        PC is at memset+0xc8/0x1c0
        LR is at kernel_map_pages+0x1ec/0x244
    
    Fix this by calling kernel_map_pages to ensure the page is set in the
    page table properly
