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,
In order to review this patch, I should dig sparse memory codes in
advance. But I have some confuse of codes. Why need encode/decode mem
map instead of set mem_map to ms->section_mem_map directly?
The memmap is aligned, and the low bits are zero. We store some information
in these bits. So we need to encode/decode memmap here.
Hi Congyang,
Thanks for you reponse. But I mean why return (unsigned long)(mem_map -
(section_nr_to_pfn(pnum))); in function sparse_encode_mem_map, and then
return ((struct page *)coded_mem_map) + section_nr_to_pfn(pnum); in
funtion sparse_decode_mem_map instead of just store mem_map in
ms->section_mep_map directly.

Jaegeuk
