The patch titled Subject: mm/sparse: make mminit_validate_memmodel_limits() static has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-sparse-make-mminit_validate_memmodel_limits-static.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-sparse-make-mminit_validate_memmodel_limits-static.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-sparse-make-mminit_validate_memmodel_limits-static.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: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/sparse: make mminit_validate_memmodel_limits() static It's only used in the sparse.c now. So we can make it static and further clean up the relevant code.
