Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: fix a crash in free_pages_prepare()
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 15:47:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1569613623-16820-1-git-send-email-cai@lca.pw> (raw)

On architectures like s390, arch_free_page() could mark the page unused
(set_page_unused()) and any access later would trigger a kernel panic.
Fix it by moving arch_free_page() after all possible accessing calls.
