[PATCH 0/2] xen/mm: Reset PFN_ORDER for offlined buddy heads

[Bernhard Kaindl <bernhard.kaindl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This series fixes an inconsistency in the PFN_ORDER annotation for
pages that are offlined when they are the head of a free buddy.

When reserve_offlined_page() splits a buddy and moves offlined
sub-pages to the offlined lists, the former buddy head would be
left annotated with its original order even though it is now a
single page. While this does not cause functional regressions,
it is misleading.

Patch 1 adds a native regression test that reproduces and documents
the problem. The test seeds an order-1 buddy, offlines the head page,
verifies the tail becomes order-0, and checks the offlined head's order.

Patch 2 resets PFN_ORDER to 0 for offlined buddy heads inside
reserve_offlined_page() when moving the page to the offlined list
and updates the regression test to assert the corrected behaviour.

This series is based on the native test environment v3 for NUMA claims
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2026-05/msg01163.html

which in turn is based on the NUMA claim sets v7 series:

$ make -C tools/tests/native TARGETS=offline-head-order test |
      grep -C3 PG_OFFLINE_STATUS_OFFLINED

Log of checking the PFN_ORDER() of the offlined page before the fix is applied:

| offline-head-order.c:32: ASSERT(PFN_ORDER(page) == 1)
| offline-head-order.c:34: ASSERT(offline_page(page_to_mfn(page), 0, &status) 
== 0)
| offline-head-order.c:35: ASSERT(status == PG_OFFLINE_OFFLINED)
| offline-head-order.c:39: ASSERT(query_page_offline(page_to_mfn(page), 
&status) == 0)
| offline-head-order.c:40: ASSERT(status == PG_OFFLINE_STATUS_OFFLINED)
|
| - Test assertion failed as expected at offline-head-order.c:44:
|   Assertion failed: PFN_ORDER(page) == 0
