Device memory ranges when getting hot added into ZONE_DEVICE, might require
their vmemmap mapping's backing memory to be allocated from their own range
instead of consuming system memory. This prevents large system memory usage
for potentially large device memory ranges. Device driver communicates this
request via vmem_altmap structure. Architecture needs to take this request
into account while creating and tearing down vemmmap mappings.
This enables vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate() and vmemmap_free()
which includes vmemmap_populate_basepages() used for ARM64_16K_PAGES and
ARM64_64K_PAGES configs.

Isn't that comment equally true of the regular case? AFAICS we don't
call vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() with larger than PMD_SIZE either. If the
warnings are useful, shouldn't they cover both cases equally? However,
given that we never warned before, and the code here appears that it
would work fine anyway, *are* they really useful?

Personally I find that comment a bit unclear (particularly the first
sentence which just seems like a confusing tautology). Is the overall
point that the altmap only matters when we're unmapping and freeing
vmemmap pages (such that we free them to the right allocator)? At face
value it doesn't seem to warrant a warning - it's not necessary to know
which allocator owns pages that we aren't freeing, but it isn't harmful
either.
That said, however, after puzzling through the code I get the distinct
feeling it would be more useful if all those "free_mapped" arguments
were actually named "is_vmemmap" instead. A that point, the conceptual
inconsistency would be a little more obvious (and arguably might not
even need commenting).
All the altmap plumbing itself looks pretty mechanical and hard to
disagree with :)
Robin.
