[PATCHv7 08/18] mm/sparse: Check memmap alignment for compound_info_has_mask()
From: Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
Date: Fri Feb 27 2026 - 14:46:06 EST
From: Kiryl Shutsemau <kas@xxxxxxxxxx>
If page->compound_info encodes a mask, it is expected that vmemmap to be
naturally aligned to the maximum folio size.
Add a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() to check the alignment.
