Its filename was mm-hugetlb-defer-vmemmap-population-for-bootmem-hugepages.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" Subject: mm/hugetlb: defer vmemmap population for bootmem hugepages Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 19:42:47 +0000 Currently, the vmemmap for bootmem-allocated gigantic pages is populated early in hugetlb_vmemmap_init_early(). However, the zone information is only available after zones are initialized. If it is later discovered that a page spans multiple zones, the HVO mapping must be undone and replaced with a normal mapping using vmemmap_undo_hvo(). Defer the actual vmemmap population to hugetlb_vmemmap_init_late(). At this stage, zones are already initialized, so it can be checked if the page is valid for HVO before deciding how to populate the vmemmap. This allows us to remove vmemmap_undo_hvo() and the complex logic required to rollback HVO mappings. In hugetlb_vmemmap_init_late(), if HVO population fails or if the zones are invalid, fall back to a normal vmemmap population. Postponing population until hugetlb_vmemmap_init_late() also makes zone information available from within vmemmap_populate_hvo().
