vmem_altmap_free() and vmem_altmap_offset() could be utlized without CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE enabled. For example, mm/memory_hotplug.c:__add_pages() relies on that. The altmap is no longer restricted to ZONE_DEVICE handling, but instead depends on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is disabled, these functions are defined as inline stubs, ensuring compatibility with configurations that do not use sparsemem vmemmap. Without it, lkp reported the following: ld: arch/x86/mm/init_64.o: in function `remove_pagetable': init_64.c:(.meminit.text+0xfc7): undefined reference to `vmem_altmap_free' Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231120145354.308999-4-sumanthk@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Sumanth Korikkar <sumanthk@linux.ibm.com> Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202311180545.VeyRXEDq-lkp@intel.com/ Reviewed-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com> Cc: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de> Cc: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
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.
