Subject: mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix __hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios()
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 11:58:46 +0800
__hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios() uses incorrect arguments when handling
bootmem HugeTLB folios.
The section number passed to register_page_bootmem_memmap() is derived
from the vmemmap virtual address of folio->page instead of the folio PFN,
so the bootmem memmap metadata can be registered against the wrong
section. The helper is also given HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_SIZE even
though it expects a page count, not a size in bytes. In addition, the
write-protect range is based on pages_per_huge_page(h), which does not
cover the full HugeTLB vmemmap area and can leave part of the shared tail
vmemmap mapping writable.
Fix the section lookup to use folio_pfn(folio), use
HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_PAGES when registering the reserved memmap pages,
and use hugetlb_vmemmap_size(h) for the write-protect range.
