Patch series "mm/sparse: Optimize memmap allocation during sparse_init()", v6. In sparse_init(), two temporary pointer arrays, usemap_map and map_map are allocated with the size of NR_MEM_SECTIONS. They are used to store each memory section's usemap and mem map if marked as present. In 5-level paging mode, this will cost 512M memory though they will be released at the end of sparse_init(). System with few memory, like kdump kernel which usually only has about 256M, will fail to boot because of allocation failure if CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y. In this patchset, optimize the memmap allocation code to only use usemap_map and map_map with the size of nr_present_sections. This makes kdump kernel boot up with normal crashkernel='' setting when CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y. This patch (of 5): nr_present_sections is used to record how many memory sections are marked as present during system boot up, and will be used in the later patch.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
