[PATCH 2/2] mm/sparsemem: Fix a bug in free_map_bootmem when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP

From: Zhang Yanfei
Date: Wed Oct 02 2013 - 23:32:18 EST


From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We pass the number of pages which hold page structs of a memory
section to function free_map_bootmem. This is right when
!CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP but wrong when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.
When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we should pass the number of pages
of a memory section to free_map_bootmem.

So the fix is removing the nr_pages parameter. When
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we directly use the prefined marco
PAGES_PER_SECTION in free_map_bootmem. When !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
we calculate page numbers needed to hold the page structs for a
memory section and use the value in free_map_bootmem.
