Message-ID: <20261024090208.4ADB61F01825@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: warn on unaligned compound zone device ranges
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-warn-on-unaligned-compound-zone-device-ranges.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

Subject: mm: warn on unaligned compound zone device ranges
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 21:13:34 +0800
A compound page of order N must start at a PFN aligned to 2^N pages.
Therefore, a range used to initialize compound pages must start on a
compound-page boundary and contain an integral number of compound pages.
Two recent Device DAX bugs were caused by ranges that violated this
invariant, but neither was detected by memmap_init_zone_device().
Warn if the adjusted zone-device range violates this invariant so future
violations are reported when the compound pages are initialized.
