I think it would work but it would be preferable to find out why the
tail page has an order set in the first place. I've looked over

Agreed.

mm/page_alloc.c and mm/compaction.c a few times and did not spot where
set_private_page(page, 0) is missed when it should be covered by
clear_page_guard or del_page_from_free_list :(

I didn't enable CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, so we will expect page private
should be cleared by del_page_from_free_list(), but I guess it only clears
the buddy's private field rather than original page's, so I added below
diff and check the dmesg, it looks stall private value in original page
will be left commonly... Let me know if I missed something?
