[patch 10/10] mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the bootmem allocator

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Mon May 07 2012 - 07:39:14 EST


alloc_bootmem_section() derives allocation area constraints from the
specified sparsemem section. This is a bit specific for a generic
memory allocator like bootmem, though, so move it over to sparsemem.

As __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() already retries failed allocations
with relaxed area constraints, the fallback code in sparsemem.c can be
removed and the code becomes a bit more compact overall.
