Message-ID: <20260329004235.0C3B4C4CEF7@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: mark early-init static variables with __meminitdata
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-mark-early-init-static-variables-with-__meminitdata.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: mark early-init static variables with __meminitdata
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 20:08:47 +0800
Static variables defined inside __meminit functions should also be marked
with __meminitdata, so that their storage is placed in the .init.data
section and reclaimed with free_initmem(), thereby reducing permanent .bss
memory usage when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is disabled.
