Subject: [PATCH 6/8] mm/bootmem_info: stop marking mem_section_usage as MIX_SECTION_INFO
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 16:05:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511-bootmem_info_prep-v1-6-3fb0be6fc688@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511-bootmem_info_prep-v1-0-3fb0be6fc688@kernel.org>
We never free the ms->usage data for boot memory sections (see
section_deactivate()). And to identify whether ms->usage was allocated
from memblock, we simply identify it by looking at PG_reserved.
Consequently, there is no need to mark ms->usage as MIX_SECTION_INFO.
Let's just stop doing that.
