The patch titled Subject: mm, sparse: pass nid instead of pgdat to sparse_add_one_section() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-sparse-pass-nid-instead-of-pgdat-to-sparse_add_one_section.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, sparse: pass nid instead of pgdat to sparse_add_one_section() Since the information needed in sparse_add_one_section() is node id to allocate proper memory, it is not necessary to pass its pgdat. This patch changes the prototype of sparse_add_one_section() to pass node id directly. This is intended to reduce misleading that sparse_add_one_section() would touch pgdat.
