In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: mm: call pagetable dtor when freeing hot-removed page tables Since 5e8eb9aeeda3 ("arm64: mm: always call PTE/PMD ctor in __create_pgd_mapping()") page-table allocation on ARM64 always calls pagetable_{pte,pmd,pud,p4d}_ctor(). This sets the page_type to PGTY_table, increments NR_PAGETABLE and possible allocates a PTL. However the matching pagetable_dtor() calls were never added. With DEBUG_VM enabled on kernel versions prior to v6.17 without 2dfcd1608f3a9 ("mm/page_alloc: let page freeing clear any set page type") this leads to the following warning when freeing these pages due to page->page_type sharing page->_mapcount: BUG: Bad page state in process ... pfn:284fbb page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x284fbb flags: 0x17fffc000000000(node=0|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1ffff) page_type: f2(table) page dumped because: nonzero mapcount Call trace: bad_page+0x13c/0x160 __free_frozen_pages+0x6cc/0x860 ___free_pages+0xf4/0x180 free_pages+0x54/0x80 free_hotplug_page_range.part.0+0x58/0x90 free_empty_tables+0x438/0x500 __remove_pgd_mapping.constprop.0+0x60/0xa8 arch_remove_memory+0x48/0x80 try_remove_memory+0x158/0x1d8 offline_and_remove_memory+0x138/0x180 It can also lead to leaking the ptl allocation if ALLOC_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is defined and incorrect NR_PAGETABLE stats. Fix this by calling pagetable_dtor() in free_hotplug_pgtable_page() prior to freeing the page to undo the effects of calling pagetable_*_ctor().
