Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] mm: Fix page-table teardown during memory hot-remove
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 19:24:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010112457.49485-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
Memory hot-remove can free page-table pages allocated through paths with
different constructor state. Some paths run the page-table constructor,
while generic sparse-vmemmap population may not. The x86, RISC-V, and
arm64 teardown paths did not handle that distinction consistently,
leaving constructor/destructor accounting unbalanced.
Make pagetable_free() test PageTable() and run the destructor only when
the constructor initialized the page. The RISC-V and arm64 fixes then
use this common helper for their memory-hot-remove paths.
The architecture fixes depend on the common MM change in patch 1, so
this remains a single series. I expect it to go through the MM tree,
with review or acks from the relevant architecture maintainers.
Changes since v1:
- Move the destructor decision from x86 into pagetable_free(), as
suggested by David Hildenbrand.
- Use pagetable_free() for non-reserved RISC-V page-table pages and
simplify reserved-page handling.
- Collect David Hildenbrand's Acked-by on the RISC-V PUD fix.
- Use pagetable_free() for arm64 intermediate page-table pages, as
suggested by David Hildenbrand.
- Trim and update the commit messages, as requested by Dave Hansen.
