Currently __remove_section for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP does nothing. But even if
we use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we can unregister the memory_section.
So the patch add unregister_memory_section() into __remove_section().
Hi Yasuaki,
I have a question about these sparse vmemmap memory related patches. Hot
add memory need allocated vmemmap pages, but this time is allocated by
buddy system. How can gurantee virtual address is continuous to the
address allocated before? If not continuous, page_to_pfn and pfn_to_page
can't work correctly.
Regards,
Jaegeuk
