Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 05/18] mm: page_alloc: preserve PG_zeroed in try_to_claim_block
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:50:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0be843ccdd029d61887f199123cce216dcbbdead.1776689093.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1776689093.git.mst@redhat.com>

try_to_claim_block() calls expand() with false for both reported
and zeroed, losing the zeroed state for claimed pageblocks.

Capture reported and zeroed state before del_page_from_free_list()
clears PageReported, and pass them to expand() for sub-page
propagation.
