Subject: [PATCH v2 10/13] mm/sparse: remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 21:59:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921-b4-sparsemem_cleanups-v2-10-54d81d65e125@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921-b4-sparsemem_cleanups-v2-0-54d81d65e125@kernel.org>
All present section iterators run before memory hotplug added any
further memory sections, Therefore, we can simply use the SECTION_IS_EARLY
flag by setting that flag earlier in sparse_sections_init().
Get rid of SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT entirely and rename
for_each_present_section_nr() to for_each_early_section_nr().
Take care of the .clang-format for_each_present_section_nr() handling.
No functional change intended.
