Its filename was mm-sparsec-improve-the-error-handling-for-sparse_add_one_section.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mm/sparse.c: Improve the error handling for sparse_add_one_section() From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> Improve the error handling for mm/sparse.c::sparse_add_one_section(). And I see no reason to check 'usemap' until holding the 'pgdat_resize_lock'.
