Subject: [PATCH v2 00/15] mm: memory hot(un)plug and SPARSEMEM cleanups
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:13:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320-sparsemem_cleanups-v2-0-096addc8800d@kernel.org> (raw)
Some cleanups around memory hot(un)plug and SPARSEMEM. In essence,
we can limit CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG to CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
remove some dead code, and move all the hotplug bits over to
mm/sparse-vmemmap.c.
Some further/related cleanups around other unnecessary code
(memory hole handling and complicated usemap allocation).
I have some further sparse.c cleanups lying around, and I'm planning
on getting rid of bootmem_info.c entirely.
Cross-compiled on a bunch of machines. Hot(un)plug tested with virtio-mem.
v1 -> v2:
* Added "mm/memory_hotplug: fix possible race in scan_movable_pages()"
* Update the comment above section_deactivate()
* Reordered the flags in sparse_init_one_section()
* Patch description improvements
