Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: codetag: debug: mark codetags for poisoned page as empty When PG_hwpoison pages are freed they are treated differently in free_pages_prepare() and instead of being released they are isolated. Page allocation tag counters are decremented at this point since the page is considered not in use. Later on when such pages are released by unpoison_memory(), the allocation tag counters will be decremented again and the following warning gets reported: [ 113.930443][ T3282] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 113.931105][ T3282] alloc_tag was not set [ 113.931576][ T3282] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3282 at ./include/linux/alloc_tag.h:130 pgalloc_tag_sub.part.66+0x154/0x164 [ 113.932866][ T3282] Modules linked in: hwpoison_inje
