Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm/memory_hotplug: fix missing rollback in __add_pages()
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 00:04:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930160432.5564-1-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
__add_pages() returns on a sparse_add_section() failure without removing
the sections already added in the same request.
For memremap_pages(), the failed range is not counted in pgmap->nr_range,
so memunmap_pages() skips it. The sections already added in that range
retain their vmemmap mappings and subsection bits. Retrying a
section-aligned range can then fail with -EEXIST.
Save the initial PFN and remove [start_pfn, pfn) on failure. For a vmemmap
population failure, section_activate() already cleans up the current
section, so the rollback excludes it. If the first section fails,
__remove_pages() receives an empty range and does nothing.
