[PATCH v2 54/69] mm/sparse-vmemmap: Drop @pgmap from vmemmap population APIs
From: Muchun Song
Date: Wed May 13 2026 - 09:49:26 EST
The vmemmap population and memory hotplug paths no longer need @pgmap
to decide whether a mapping can be optimized. That state is now carried
in mem_section, and the architecture-specific population code can make
the remaining decisions internally.
Drop the @pgmap parameter from the vmemmap population helpers and the
related memory hotplug interfaces, and remove the remaining
dev_pagemap-specific coupling from those call chains.
