commit d4234d131b0a3f9e65973f1cdc71bb3560f5d14b upstream. On the arm64 platform with 4K base page config, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is set to 27, making one section 128M. The related page struct which vmemmap points to is 2M then. Commitc1cc155261("arm64: MMU initialisation") optimizes the vmemmap to populate at the PMD section level which was suitable initially since hot plug granule is always one section(128M). However, commitba72b4c8cf("mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug") introduced a 2M(SUBSECTION_SIZE) hot plug granule, which disrupted the existing arm64 assumptions. The first problem is that if start or end is not aligned to a section boundary, such as when a subsection is hot added, populating the entire section is wasteful. The next problem is if we hotplug something that spans part of 128 MiB section (subsections, let's call it memblock1), and then hotplug something that spans another part of a 128 MiB section(subsections, let's call it memblock2), and subsequently unplug memblock1, vmemmap_free() will clear the entire PMD entry which also supports memblock2 even though memblock2 is still active. Assuming hotplug/unplug sizes are guaranteed to be symmetric. Do the fix similar to x86-64: populate to pages levels if start/end is not aligned with section boundary.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
