The patch titled
Subject: mm: sparse: pass section_nr to find_memory_block
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-sparse-pass-section_nr-to-find_memory_block.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Ohhoon Kwon <ohoono.kwon@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: sparse: pass section_nr to find_memory_block
With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME enabled, __section_nr() which converts
mem_section to section_nr could be costly since it iterates all section
roots to check if the given mem_section is in its range.
On the other hand, __nr_to_section() which converts section_nr to
mem_section can be done in O(1).
Let's pass section_nr instead of mem_section ptr to find_memory_block() in
order to reduce needless iterations.
