[PATCH 02/49] mm/sparse: add a @pgmap argument to memory deactivation paths

Muchun Song songmuchun at bytedance.com
Sun Apr 5 22:51:53 AEST 2026


Currently, memory hot-remove paths do not pass the struct dev_pagemap
pointer down to section_deactivate(). This prevents the lower levels
from knowing whether the section was originally populated with vmemmap
optimizations (e.g., DAX with HVO enabled).

Without this information, we cannot call vmemmap_can_optimize() to
determine if the vmemmap pages were optimized. As a result, the vmemmap
page accounting during teardown will mistakenly assume a non-optimized
allocation, leading to incorrect page statistics.

To lay the groundwork for fixing the vmemmap page accounting, we need
to pass the @pgmap pointer down to the deactivation location. Plumb the
@pgmap argument through the APIs of arch_remove_memory(), __remove_pages()
and sparse_remove_section(), mirroring the corresponding *_activate()
paths.
