[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/sparse: remove sparse_decode_mem_map()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-sparse-remove-sparse_decode_mem_map.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/sparse: remove sparse_decode_mem_map()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:13:41 +0100

section_deactivate() applies to CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP only.  So we can
just use pfn_to_page() (after making sure we have the start PFN of the
section), and remove sparse_decode_mem_map().
