[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-memory_hotplug-fix-error-handling-in-add_memory_resource.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource()
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2023 15:53:53 +0100

In add_memory_resource(), creation of memory block devices occurs after
successful call to arch_add_memory().  However, creation of memory block
devices could fail.  In that case, arch_remove_memory() is called to
perform necessary cleanup.

Currently with or without altmap support, arch_remove_memory() is always
passed with altmap set to NULL during error handling.  This leads to
freeing of struct pages using free_pages(), eventhough the allocation
might have been performed with altmap support via
altmap_alloc_block_buf().

Fix the error handling by passing altmap in arch_remove_memory(). This
ensures the following:
* When altmap is disabled, deallocation of the struct pages array occurs
  via free_pages().
* When altmap is enabled, deallocation occurs via vmem_altmap_free().
