The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: use pfn math in place of direct struct page manipulation has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-memory_hotplug-use-pfn-math-in-place-of-direct-struct-page-manipulation.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 ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: use pfn math in place of direct struct page manipulation Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2023 16:12:46 -0400 When dealing with hugetlb pages, manipulating struct page pointers directly can get to wrong struct page, since struct page is not guaranteed to be contiguous on SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP. Use pfn calculation to handle it properly. Without the fix, a wrong number of page might be skipped. Since skip cannot be negative, scan_movable_page() will end early and might miss a movable page with -ENOENT. This might fail offline_pages(). No bug is reported. The fix comes from code inspection.
