Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out altmap freeing checks
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 16:43:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511084307.1827127-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)

Use a small helper to centralize altmap freeing after verifying that all
vmemmap pages were released. This keeps the check consistent between the
normal teardown path and the memory hotplug error paths.
