Patch series "mm: sparse: remove __section_nr() function", v4. This patch (of 3): With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME enabled, __section_nr() which converts mem_section to section_nr could be costly since it iterates all section roots to check if the given mem_section is in its range. Since both callers of section_mark_present already know section_nr, let's also pass section_nr as well as mem_section in order to reduce costly translation.

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.
