mm: fix NR_SECTION_ROOTS == 0 when using using sparsemem extreme.
Got this while compiling for ARM/SA1100: mm/sparse.c: In function '__section_nr': mm/sparse.c:135: warning: 'root' is used uninitialized in this function This patch follows Russell King's suggestion for a new calculation for NR_SECTION_ROOTS. Thanks also to Sergei Shtylyov for pointing out the existence of the macro DIV_ROUND_UP. Atsushi Nemoto observed: : This fix doesn't just silence the warning - it fixes a real problem. : : Without this fix, mem_section[] might have 0 size so mem_section[0] : will share other variable area. For example, I got: : : c030c700 b __warned.16478 : c030c700 B mem_section : c030c701 b __warned.16483 : : This might cause very strange behavior. Your patch actually fixes it.
