and it looks like the second one is the problem:
if ((order < MAX_ORDER-2) && pfn_valid_within(buddy_pfn)) {
struct page *higher_page, *higher_buddy;
combined_pfn = buddy_pfn & pfn;
higher_page = page + (combined_pfn - pfn);
buddy_pfn = __find_buddy_pfn(combined_pfn, order + 1);
higher_buddy = higher_page + (buddy_pfn - combined_pfn);
if (page_is_buddy(higher_page, higher_buddy, order + 1)) {
list_add_tail(&page->lru,
&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);
goto out;
}
}
Although outer "if" checked for pfn_valid_within(buddy_pfn),
we actually pass "higher_buddy" to this call of page_is_buddy().
