When a huge page is split into normal pages, part of the head page flags are transferred to the tail pages. However, the PG_arch_* flags are not part of the preserved set. PG_arch_2 is used by the arm64 MTE support to mark pages that have valid tags. The absence of such flag would cause the arm64 set_pte_at() to clear the tags in order to avoid stale tags exposed to user or the swapping out hooks to ignore the tags. Not preserving PG_arch_2 on huge page splitting leads to tag corruption in the tail pages. Preserve the newly added PG_arch_2 flag in __split_huge_page_tail().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
