Subject[PATCH 0/3] mm: sparse: remove __section_nr() function
Date
This series contains cleanups to remove __section_nr().

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME is enabled, __section_nr() could be
costly since it iterates all section roots to check if the given
mem_section is in its range.

On the other hand, __nr_to_section which converts section_nr to
mem_section can be done in O(1).

The only users of __section_nr() was section_mark_present() and
find_memory_block().

PATCH 1 & 2 changes both functions to use section_nr instead of
mem_section.
PATCH 3 finally removes __section_nr() function.

More details can be found in each changelogs.

mm: sparse: pass section_nr to section_mark_present
mm: sparse: pass section_nr to find_memory_block
