Gerald Schaefer reported a panic on s390 in hugepage_subpool_put_pages() with linux-next 5.12.0-20210222. Call trace: hugepage_subpool_put_pages.part.0+0x2c/0x138 __free_huge_page+0xce/0x310 alloc_pool_huge_page+0x102/0x120 set_max_huge_pages+0x13e/0x350 hugetlb_sysctl_handler_common+0xd8/0x110 hugetlb_sysctl_handler+0x48/0x58 proc_sys_call_handler+0x138/0x238 new_sync_write+0x10e/0x198 vfs_write.part.0+0x12c/0x238 ksys_write+0x68/0xf8 do_syscall+0x82/0xd0 __do_syscall+0xb4/0xc8 system_call+0x72/0x98 This is a result of the change which moved the hugetlb page subpool pointer from page->private to page[1]->private. When new pages are allocated from the buddy allocator, the private field of the head page will be cleared, but the private field of subpages is not modified. Therefore, old values may remain. Fix by initializing hugetlb page subpool pointer in prep_new_huge_page().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
