Subject: [PATCH 08/12] mm/sparse: move __highest_used_section_nr handling
Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 15:33:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909-b4-sparsemem_cleanups-v1-8-008fc8d579fe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909-b4-sparsemem_cleanups-v1-0-008fc8d579fe@kernel.org>
Let's move it to sparse_init_one_section(). However, to keep early
boot processing working, we also have to initialize it in
sparse_sections_init().
Should we use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE with __highest_used_section_nr?
Probably, something for another day.
