Subject: mm/bootmem_info: stop marking mem_section_usage as MIX_SECTION_INFO
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae751d567baa08342e5e34b378b72a6f9b2cfada;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

mm/bootmem_info: stop marking mem_section_usage as MIX_SECTION_INFO

We never free the ms->usage data for boot memory sections (see
section_deactivate()). And to identify whether ms->usage was allocated
from memblock, we simply identify it by looking at PG_reserved.

Consequently, there is no need to mark ms->usage as MIX_SECTION_INFO.
Let's just stop doing that.
