[PATCH 0/3] Fixes "mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug"
From: Wei Yang

During reviewing David's code, I found current sub-section hotplug is
broken in several places.
The following link fix one potential issue, while David and I still spot
some suspicious points.

The problem here is mainly about the memmap manipulation:
* memmap would be overwrite if not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
* only need to adjust memmap for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
Wei Yang (3):
mm/sparsemem: adjust memmap only for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
mm/sparsemem: get physical address to page struct instead of virtual
address to pfn
mm/sparsemem: avoid memmap overwrite for non-SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
