Subject: [PATCH v2 03/15] mm/sparse: remove WARN_ONs from (online|offline)_mem_sections()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:13:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320-sparsemem_cleanups-v2-3-096addc8800d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320-sparsemem_cleanups-v2-0-096addc8800d@kernel.org>

We do not allow offlining of memory with memory holes, and always
hotplug memory without holes.

Consequently, we cannot end up onlining or offlining memory sections that
have holes (including invalid sections). That's also why these
WARN_ONs never fired.

Let's remove the WARN_ONs along with the TODO regarding double-checking.
