Subject: [PATCH 09/12] mm/sparse: remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT
Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 15:33:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909-b4-sparsemem_cleanups-v1-9-008fc8d579fe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909-b4-sparsemem_cleanups-v1-0-008fc8d579fe@kernel.org>

All present section iterators run before memory hotplug added any
further memory sections, Therefore, we can simply use the SECTION_IS_EARLY
flag by setting that flag earlier in sparse_prepare_early_sections().

Get rid of SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT entirely and rename
for_each_present_section_nr() to for_each_early_section_nr().

Also update the gdb script to use the updated value for
SECTION_IS_EARLY.

No functional change intended.
