In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/memory-failure: fix handling of dissolved but not taken off from buddy pages

When I did memory failure tests recently, below panic occurs:

And before the panic, there had an warning about bad page state:

The root cause should be the below race:
