The patch titled Subject: mm/sparsemem: pfn_to_page is not valid yet on SPARSEMEM has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-sparsemem-pfn_to_page-is-not-valid-yet-on-sparsemem.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang richardw.yang@linux.intel.com Subject: mm/sparsemem: pfn_to_page is not valid yet on SPARSEMEM

When we use SPARSEMEM instead of SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, pfn_to_page() doesn't work before sparse_init_one_section() is called. This leads to a crash when hotplug memory:

We should use memmap as it did.

On x86 the impact is limited to x86_32 builds, or x86_64 configurations that override the default setting for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

Other memory hotplug archs (arm64, ia64, and ppc) also default to SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y.
