Subject: mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds warning
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 20:05:48 +0800
Patch series "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
isolate_single_pageblock", v3.
Patch 1 fixes a UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds warning in the PageBuddy branch
of isolate_single_pageblock() triggered by concurrent buddy allocation.
Patch 2 addresses the same class of issue in the PageCompound branch,
where racy compound_order() and compound_head() reads could lead to
out-of-range shifts or incorrect page skipping.
This patch (of 2):
A contig-range allocation racing with buddy allocation on the adjacent
pageblock can trigger:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in mm/page_isolation.c:393:15
shift exponent -749042176 is negative
Call trace:
isolate_single_pageblock
start_isolate_page_range
alloc_contig_frozen_range_noprof
alloc_contig_range_noprof
isolate_single_pageblock() first calls set_migratetype_isolate() with
zone->lock held, which marks the pageblock MIGRATE_ISOLATE and moves any
free page straddling the boundary out of the way. Once the lock is
dropped, it scans the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES-aligned window [start_pfn,
boundary_pfn) locklessly, only to skip the free pages already handled
above and to detect in-use pages straddling the boundary. Since this
scan only reads page state to decide how far to skip and returns -EBUSY
on a straddling in-use page, it does not take the lock.
The window also covers the adjacent pageblock, whose free pages stay on
the normal movable/CMA freelist and can be allocated concurrently. So
after the scan observes PageBuddy(page), another CPU can allocate the
page, leaving a stale value in page->private that makes "1 << order" shift
out of range.
Use buddy_order_unsafe() with READ_ONCE to read the order, and validate
it is within MAX_PAGE_ORDER before shifting to prevent UBSAN warnings.
Since pageblock_isolate_and_move_free_pages() already handles free pages
straddling boundary_pfn under zone->lock, bail out with -EBUSY instead
of VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() when a PageBuddy page appears to cross the boundary
during the lockless scan.
