Subject: mm/page_alloc: free allocated PFNs if the range does not match
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:35:33 -0400

When using __GFP_COMP in alloc_contig_frozen_range(), if the allocated
range does not match the requested one, the code errors out with EINVAL
without freeing the allocated PFNs and causes free page leaks.  Fix it by
calling release_free_list() in the error path.

The issue is reported by Sashiko[1].
