[PATCH 4.9] mm: page_alloc: validate buddy page before using

From: Xianting Tian
Date: Thu Jun 16 2022 - 12:19:40 EST


Commit 787af64d05cd ("mm: page_alloc: validate buddy before check its migratetype.")
fixes a bug in 1dd214b8f21c and there is a similar bug in d9dddbf55667 that
can be fixed in a similar way too.

In addition, for RISC-V arch the first 2MB RAM could be reserved for opensbi,
so it would have pfn_base=512 and mem_map began with 512th PFN when
CONFIG_FLATMEM=y.
But __find_buddy_pfn algorithm thinks the start pfn 0, it could get 0 pfn or
less than the pfn_base value. We need page_is_buddy() to verify the buddy to
prevent accessing an invalid buddy.

Fixes: d9dddbf55667 ("mm/page_alloc: prevent merging between isolated and other pageblocks")
