[PATCH 6.18 066/198] mips: fix HIGHMEM initialization

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2026-01-21 18:29:42
Also in: stable
Subsystem: mips, the rest · Maintainers: Thomas Bogendoerfer, Linus Torvalds

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit f171b55f1441294344b86edfeaa575ea9673fd23 ]

Commit 6faea3422e3b ("arch, mm: streamline HIGHMEM freeing") overzealously
removed mem_init_free_highmem() function that beside freeing high memory
pages checked for CPU support for high memory as a prerequisite.

Partially restore mem_init_free_highmem() with a new highmem_init() name
and make it discard high memory in case there is no CPU support for it.
