[PATCH v4 1/2] mm/sparse.c: Use kvmalloc/kvfree to alloc/free memmap for the classic sparse

From: Baoquan He
Date: Mon Mar 16 2020 - 06:22:09 EST


This change makes populate_section_memmap()/depopulate_section_memmap
much simpler.

v3->v4:
Split the old v3 into two patches, to carve out the using 'nid'
as preferred node to allocate memmap into a separate patch. This
is suggested by Michal, and the carving out is put in patch 2.

v2->v3:
Remove __GFP_NOWARN and use array_size when calling kvmalloc_node()
per Matthew's comments.
