Subject: mm/sparse.c: wrong allocation for mem_section
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c86ee796feed73dfa8a895be48c146b018d14393;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mm/sparse.c: wrong allocation for mem_section

commit d09cfbbfa0f761a97687828b5afb27b56cbf2e19 upstream.

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.
