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.
