[PATCH v4 4/5] mm/mm_init: Fix pageblock migratetype for ZONE_DEVICE compound pages

Wed Apr 22 18:14:19 AEST 2026


The memmap_init_zone_device() function only initializes the migratetype
of the first pageblock of a compound page. If the compound page size
exceeds pageblock_nr_pages (e.g., 1GB hugepages with 2MB pageblocks),
subsequent pageblocks in the compound page remain uninitialized.

Move the migratetype initialization out of __init_zone_device_page()
and into a separate pageblock_migratetype_init_range() function. This
iterates over the entire PFN range of the memory, ensuring that all
pageblocks are correctly initialized.

Fixes: c4386bd8ee3a ("mm/memremap: add ZONE_DEVICE support for compound pages")
