The patch titled
Subject: mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-fix-devm_memremap_pages-crash-use-mem_hotplug_begin-done.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}
Both arch_add_memory() and arch_remove_memory() expect a single threaded
context.
For example, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c::kernel_physical_mapping_init() does
not hold any locks over this check and branch:
if (pgd_val(*pgd)) {
pud = (pud_t *)pgd_page_vaddr(*pgd);
paddr_last = phys_pud_init(pud, __pa(vaddr),
__pa(vaddr_end),
page_size_mask);
continue;
}
pud = alloc_low_page();
paddr_last = phys_pud_init(pud, __pa(vaddr), __pa(vaddr_end),
page_size_mask);
The result is that two threads calling devm_memremap_pages()
simultaneously can end up colliding on pgd initialization. This leads to
crash signatures like the following where the loser of the race
initializes the wrong pgd entry:

Hold the standard memory hotplug mutex over calls to
