The patch titled Subject: mm/sparse.c: make sparse_init_one_section void and remove check has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-sparse-make-sparse_init_one_section-void-and-remove-check.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm/sparse.c: make sparse_init_one_section void and remove check sparse_init_one_section() is being called from two sites: sparse_init() and sparse_add_one_section(). The former calls it from a for_each_present_section_nr() loop, and the latter marks the section as present before calling it. This means that when sparse_init_one_section() gets called, we already know that the section is present. So there is no point to double check that in the function. This removes the check and makes the function void.
