Subject: mm/cma: fix reserved page leak on activation failure
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 14:26:58 +0800
If cma_activate_area() fails after allocating only part of the range
bitmaps, its cleanup path frees the bitmaps for the ranges below
allocrange and then releases reserved pages using the same bound.
That bound is only correct for bitmap freeing. Pages in ranges that did
not reach bitmap allocation are still reserved and should also be returned
to the buddy when CMA_RESERVE_PAGES_ON_ERROR is clear. As a result, a
partial bitmap allocation failure can permanently leak the reserved pages
from the failed range and all later ranges.
Fix this by releasing reserved pages for all ranges. For ranges whose
bitmap allocation succeeded, use the early_pfn[] snapshot saved before the
bitmap pointer overwrote the union field. For later ranges, continue to
use cmr->early_pfn directly.
