The patch titled Subject: mm/page_alloc: make alloc_node_mem_map() __init rather than __ref has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-page_alloc-make-alloc_node_mem_map-__init-rather-than-__ref.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-page_alloc-make-alloc_node_mem_map-__init-rather-than-__ref.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-page_alloc-make-alloc_node_mem_map-__init-rather-than-__ref.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/page_alloc: make alloc_node_mem_map() __init rather than __ref alloc_node_mem_map() is never only called from free_area_init_node() that is an __init function. Make the actual alloc_node_mem_map() also __init and its stub version static inline.
