[PATCH v2 51/69] mm/sparse-vmemmap: Introduce vmemmap_nr_struct_pages()
From: Muchun Song
Date: Wed May 13 2026 - 10:32:47 EST
compound_nr_pages() exposes sparse vmemmap optimization details to the
core memory initialization code.
Introduce vmemmap_nr_struct_pages() to report how many struct pages are
actually allocated and need initialization for an optimized vmemmap
mapping. This gives memmap_init_zone_device() the information it needs
without depending on sparse-vmemmap internals.
With this helper in place, drop compound_nr_pages() and keep the
vmemmap-specific logic inside sparse-vmemmap code.
