Linux kernel source tree
c11a1a4792
alloc_pages_node(, order) needs to be paired with __free_pages(, order) to
free all the allocated pages. For order != 0 the return from
alloc_pages_node() is just a page list, it hasn't been formed into a
folio.
However iommu_put_pages_list() just calls put_page() on the head page of
an allocation, which will end up leaking the tail pages if order != 0.
Fix this by using __GFP_COMP to create a high order folio and then always
use put_page() to free the full high order folio.
__iommu_free_account() can get the order of the allocation via
folio_order(), which corrects the accounting of high order allocations in
iommu_put_pages_list(). This is the same technique slub uses.
As far as I can tell, none of the places using high order allocations are
also using the free list, so this not a current bug.
Fixes:

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 reStructuredText 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.
