Subject[PATCH] mm: page_is_guard return false when page_ext arrays are not allocated yet
Date
When enabling the below kernel configs:

CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM

kernel bootup may fail due to the following oops:

The problem is lookup_page_ext() returns NULL then page_is_guard() tried to
access it in page freeing.

page_is_guard() depends on PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD bit of page extension flag, but
freeing page might reach here before the page_ext arrays are allocated when
feeding a range of pages to the allocator for the first time during bootup or
memory hotplug.

When it returns NULL, page_is_guard() should just return false instead of
checking PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD unconditionally.
