The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/sparse-vmemmap: fix DAX vmemmap accounting with optimization
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-sparse-vmemmap-fix-dax-vmemmap-accounting-with-optimization.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/sparse-vmemmap: fix DAX vmemmap accounting with optimization
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:18:53 +0800
When vmemmap optimization is enabled for DAX, the nr_memmap_pages counter
in /proc/vmstat is incorrect. The current code always accounts for the
full, non-optimized vmemmap size, but vmemmap optimization reduces the
actual number of vmemmap pages by reusing tail pages. This causes the
system to overcount vmemmap usage, leading to inaccurate page statistics
in /proc/vmstat.
Fix this by introducing section_nr_vmemmap_pages(), which returns the
exact vmemmap page count for a given pfn range based on whether
optimization is in effect.
