Subject: [PATCH v2] drivers/base/memory: set mem->altmap after successful device registration
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 02:26:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514092657.3057141-1-georgi.djakov@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)

If __add_memory_block() fails at xa_store() (under memory pressure
for example), device_unregister() is called, which eventually
triggers memory_block_release() with mem->altmap still set, causing
a WARN_ON(mem->altmap). This was triggered by modifying virtio-mem
driver.

Fix this by delaying the assignment of mem->altmap until after
__add_memory_block() has succeeded.

Fixes: 1a8c64e11043 ("mm/memory_hotplug: embed vmem_altmap details in memory block")
