[PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: mm: Avoid spurious fault after hotplugging vmemmap
From: Vivian Wang
Date: Thu Jun 04 2026 - 07:21:13 EST
Patch 1 adds a hook and should be no functional change on its own,
whereas patch 2 is the actual fix, which depends on my earlier kfence
fixes for mark_new_valid_map() [1].
Found while testing AMD_HSA/ZONE_DEVICE on SpacemiT K3. Using
ZONE_DEVICE requires another fix [2].

Changes in v2:
- Split patch in two, hook point and riscv hook
- Explain hook necessity in patch 1 message (Mike)
- Make hook #define based (Mike)
- Call finalize hook only on populate success
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260525-mark-after-vmemmap-populate-v1-1-e698d859ba16@xxxxxxxxxxx
