[ 1000.691951] BUG: Bad page state in process server.o  pfn:309d23

It can be seen that the reason for page release failure is: non null mapping, that is, when releasing, page – > Mapping is not null. Let’s look at the check function

static inline int free_pages_check(struct page *page)
{
    char *bad_reason = NULL;
    unsigned long bad_flags = 0;

    if (unlikely(page_mapcount(page)))
        bad_reason = "nonzero mapcount";
    if (unlikely(page->mapping != NULL))-------------------The mapping of the page is not NULL and is considered an exception.
        bad_reason = "non-NULL mapping";
    if (unlikely(page_ref_count(page) != 0))
        bad_reason = "nonzero _count";
    if (unlikely(page->flags & PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE)) {
        bad_reason = "PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE flag(s) set";
        bad_flags = PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE;
    }
    if (unlikely(mem_cgroup_bad_page_check(page)))
        bad_reason = "cgroup check failed";
    if (unlikely(bad_reason)) {
        bad_page(page, bad_reason, bad_flags);
        return 1;
    }
    page_cpupid_reset_last(page);
    if (page->flags & PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP)
        page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP;
    return 0;
}

According to the principle, if it is an anonymous page, the mapping of the page will be set to null when it is released, as follows:

static bool free_pages_prepare(struct page *page, unsigned int order)
{
    int i;
    int bad = 0;

    trace_mm_page_free(page, order);
    kmemcheck_free_shadow(page, order);

    if (PageAnon(page))
        page->mapping = NULL;
    for (i = 0; i < (1 << order); i++)
        bad += free_pages_check(page + i);
    if (bad)
        return false;

    if (!PageHighMem(page)) {
        debug_check_no_locks_freed(page_address(page),PAGE_SIZE<<order);
        debug_check_no_obj_freed(page_address(page),
                       PAGE_SIZE << order);
    }
    arch_free_page(page, order);
    kernel_map_pages(page, 1 << order, 0);

    return true;
}

Now that the bad count is entered, the page is not anonymous when it is released. In my code, the mapping of page refers to the address of the file_ Space, so mapping is not null

The reason for the problem is that when I manage the page in my own memory pool, there is a process that does not count normally. As a result, when it is released abnormally, the pointer has not been cleaned up
