Subject: mm: move array mem_section init code out of memory_present()
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2024 14:11:27 +0800

Patch series "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

These are all observed when going through code flow during mm init.


This patch (of 7):

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME is enabled, mem_section need be initialized
to point at a two-dimensional array, and its 1st dimension of length
NR_SECTION_ROOTS will be dynamically allocated.  Once the allocation is
done, it's available for all nodes.

So take the 1st dimension of mem_section initialization out of
memory_present()(), and put it into memblocks_present() which is a more
appripriate place.
