From d09cfbbfa0f761a97687828b5afb27b56cbf2e19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baoquan He Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 16:18:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/sparse.c: wrong allocation for mem_section In commit 83e3c48729d9 ("mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y") mem_section is allocated at runtime to save memory. It allocates the first dimension of array with sizeof(struct mem_section). It costs extra memory, should be sizeof(struct mem_section *). Fix it.
