- sparsemem-record-when-a-section-has-a-valid-mem_map.patch removed from -mm tree

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The patch titled
     sparsemem: record when a section has a valid mem_map
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     sparsemem-record-when-a-section-has-a-valid-mem_map.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sparsemem: record when a section has a valid mem_map
From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map
associated with it.  This is never set and we rely solely on the present bit
to indicate a section is valid.  By definition a section is not valid if it
has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
incorrectly.

Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
mem_map.  Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit.  Add a new
present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
know that a section is going to be valid.
