Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds warning

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.
