Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: fix memory block reference leak on remove
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:52:17 +0800

Patch series "mm: Fix memory block leaks and locking", v2.

This series fixes two memory block device reference leaks and one locking
issue around the per-memory_block hwpoison counter.


This patch (of 2):

remove_memory_blocks_and_altmaps() looks up each memory block with
find_memory_block(), which acquires a reference to the memory block
device.

That reference is never dropped on this path, resulting in a leaked device
reference when removing memory blocks and their altmaps.  Drop the
reference after retrieving mem->altmap and clearing mem->altmap, before
removing the memory block device.
