Subject: [PATCH v5 04/28] mm: page_alloc: move prep_compound_page before post_alloc_hook
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 18:22:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <249b45850d1c864563ba4415d55eeca9ef12dab9.1778192416.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778192416.git.mst@redhat.com>
Move prep_compound_page() before post_alloc_hook() in prep_new_page().
The next patch adds a folio_zero_user() call to post_alloc_hook(),
which uses folio_nr_pages() to determine how many pages to zero.
Without compound metadata set up first, folio_nr_pages() returns 1
for higher-order allocations, so only the first page would be zeroed.
All other operations in post_alloc_hook() (arch_alloc_page, KASAN,
debug, page owner, etc.) use raw page pointers with explicit order
counts and are unaffected by this reordering.
