[PATCH v8 01/12] mm/sparsemem: Introduce struct mem_section_usage

2019-05-06 Thread Dan Williams
Towards enabling memory hotplug to track partial population of a section, introduce 'struct mem_section_usage'. A pointer to a 'struct mem_section_usage' instance replaces the existing pointer to a 'pageblock_flags' bitmap. Effectively it adds one more 'unsigned long' beyond the 'pageblock_flags'
