The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-memory_hotplug-fix-error-handling-in-add_memory_resource.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Sumanth Korikkar sumanthk@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource() Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2023 15:53:53 +0100
In add_memory_resource(), creation of memory block devices occurs after successful call to arch_add_memory(). However, creation of memory block devices could fail. In that case, arch_remove_memory() is called to perform necessary cleanup.
Currently with or without altmap support, arch_remove_memory() is always passed with altmap set to NULL during error handling. This leads to freeing of struct pages using free_pages(), eventhough the allocation might have been performed with altmap support via altmap_alloc_block_buf().
Fix the error handling by passing altmap in arch_remove_memory(). This ensures the following: * When altmap is disabled, deallocation of the struct pages array occurs via free_pages(). * When altmap is enabled, deallocation occurs via vmem_altmap_free().
