Linux kernel source tree
b7c5f9a1fb
We want to use the functions (get_free_mem_region()) configured via GET_FREE_REGION in resource kunit tests. However, GET_FREE_REGION depends on SPARSEMEM now. This makes resource kunit tests cannot be built on some architectures lacking SPARSEMEM, or causes config warning as follows, WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for GET_FREE_REGION Depends on [n]: SPARSEMEM [=n] Selected by [y]: - RESOURCE_KUNIT_TEST [=y] && RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU [=y] && KUNIT [=y] When get_free_mem_region() was introduced the only consumers were those looking to pass the address range to memremap_pages(). That address range needed to be mindful of the maximum addressable platform physical address which at the time only SPARSMEM defined via MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. Given that memremap_pages() also depended on SPARSEMEM via ZONE_DEVICE, it was easier to just depend on that definition than invent a general MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS concept outside of SPARSEMEM. Turns out that decision was buggy and did not account for KASAN consumption of physical address space. That problem was resolved recently with commit |

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 reStructuredText 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.
