Patch series "mm/hotplug: Only use subsection map for VMEMMAP", v4. Memory sub-section hotplug was added to fix the issue that nvdimm could be mapped at non-section aligned starting address. A subsection map is added into struct mem_section_usage to implement it. However, config ZONE_DEVICE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. It means subsection map only makes sense when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled. For the classic sparse, subsection map is meaningless and confusing. About the classic sparse which doesn't support subsection hotplug, Dan said it's more because the effort and maintenance burden outweighs the benefit. Besides, the current 64 bit ARCHes all enable SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE by default. This patch (of 5): Factor out the code that fills the subsection map from section_activate() into fill_subsection_map(), this makes section_activate() cleaner and easier to follow.

README
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.
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.
