The patch titled
Subject: mm,sparse: fix deactivate_section for early sections
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-sparsemem-support-sub-section-hotplug-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-sparsemem-support-sub-section-hotplug.patch
------------------------------------------------------
From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm,sparse: fix deactivate_section for early sections
deactivate_section checks whether a section is early or not in order to
either call free_map_bootmem() or depopulate_section_memmap(). Being the
former for sections added at boot time, and the latter for sections
hotplugged.
The problem is that we zero section_mem_map, so the last early_section()
will always report false and the section will not be removed.
Fix this checking whether a section is early or not at function
entry.
