Subject: mm/sparse-vmemmap: pass @pgmap argument to memory deactivation paths
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:26:37 +0800
Currently, the memory hot-remove call chain -- arch_remove_memory(),
__remove_pages(), sparse_remove_section() and section_deactivate() -- does
not carry the struct dev_pagemap pointer. This prevents the lower levels
from knowing whether the section was originally populated with vmemmap
optimizations (e.g., DAX with vmemmap optimization 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 memmap 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.
