[PATCH v2 08/13] mm/sparse: move __highest_used_section_nr handling
From: David Hildenbrand (Arm)
Date: Mon Sep 21 2026 - 16:25:40 EST
In preparation for removing __section_mark_present(), let's move
__highest_used_section_nr handling into its callers. Verify in
sparse_init_one_section() that it was properly updated.
In sparse_sections_init() we can just set it to the last processed
section_nr.
No functional change intended.
