Commit 787af64d05cd ("mm: page_alloc: validate buddy before check its migratetype.") added buddy check code. But unfortunately, this fix isn't backported to linux-5.17.y and the former stable branches. The reason is it added wrong fixes message: Fixes: 1dd214b8f21c ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging non-fallbackable pageblocks with others") Actually, this issue is involved by commit: commit d9dddbf55667 ("mm/page_alloc: prevent merging between isolated and other pageblocks")
For RISC-V arch, the first 2M is reserved for sbi, so the start PFN is 512, but it got buddy PFN 0 for PFN 0x2000: 0 = 0x2000 ^ (1 << 12) With the illegal buddy PFN 0, it got an illegal buddy page, which caused crash in __get_pfnblock_flags_mask().
With the patch, it can avoid the calling of get_pageblock_migratetype() if it isn't buddy page.
