This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource() to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mm-memory_hotplug-fix-error-handling-in-add_memory_r.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9345b30fdfb2604449065987afce0aa558347408 Author: Sumanth Korikkar <sumanthk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 20 15:53:53 2023 +0100 mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource() [ Upstream commit f42ce5f087eb69e47294ababd2e7e6f88a82d308 ] 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().
