Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] mm/sparse-vmemmap: Fix vmemmap accounting underflow
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:14:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415111412.1003526-2-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260415111412.1003526-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>

In section_activate(), if populate_section_memmap() fails, the error
handling path calls section_deactivate() to roll back the state. This
causes a vmemmap accounting imbalance.

Since commit c3576889d87b ("mm: fix accounting of memmap pages"),
memmap pages are accounted for only after populate_section_memmap()
succeeds. However, the failure path unconditionally calls
section_deactivate(), which decreases the vmemmap count. Consequently,
a failure in populate_section_memmap() leads to an accounting underflow,
incorrectly reducing the system's tracked vmemmap usage.

Fix this more thoroughly by moving all accounting calls into the lower
level functions that actually perform the vmemmap allocation and freeing:

  - populate_section_memmap() accounts for newly allocated vmemmap pages
  - depopulate_section_memmap() unaccounts when vmemmap is freed
  - free_map_bootmem() handles early bootmem section accounting

This ensures proper accounting in all code paths, including error
handling and early section cases.

Fixes: c3576889d87b ("mm: fix accounting of memmap pages")
