Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix accounting of memmap pages for early sections
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2025 11:08:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250804090859.727207-1-sumanthk@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
memmap pages can be allocated either from the memblock (boot) allocator
during early boot or from the buddy allocator.
When these memmap pages are removed via arch_remove_memory(), the
deallocation path depends on their source:
* For pages from the buddy allocator, depopulate_section_memmap() is
called, which also decrements the count of nr_memmap_pages.
* For pages from the boot allocator, free_map_bootmem() is called. But
it currently does not adjust the nr_memmap_boot_pages.
To fix this inconsistency, update free_map_bootmem() to also decrement
the nr_memmap_boot_pages count by invoking memmap_boot_pages_add(),
mirroring how free_vmemmap_page() handles this for boot-allocated pages.
This ensures correct tracking of memmap pages regardless of allocation
source.
