From: Gerald Schaefer gerald.schaefer@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm/hugetlb: clear compound_nr before freeing gigantic pages
Commit 1378a5ee451a ("mm: store compound_nr as well as compound_order") added compound_nr counter to first tail struct page, overlaying with page->mapping. The overlay itself is fine, but while freeing gigantic hugepages via free_contig_range(), a "bad page" check will trigger for non-NULL page->mapping on the first tail page:

This is because only the compound_order is cleared in destroy_compound_gigantic_page(), and compound_nr is set to 1U << order == 1 for order 0 in set_compound_order(page, 0).
Fix this by explicitly clearing compound_nr for first tail page after calling set_compound_order(page, 0).
