Since the recent setting of CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH to 'y', builds of RHEL6.1 are seeing the following warning message: WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x405c0): Section mismatch in reference from the function hugetlb_register_node() to the function .init.text:hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate() The function hugetlb_register_node() references the function __init hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate(). This is often because hugetlb_register_node lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate is wrong. It turns out that the annotation of hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate() is wrong. And can be corrected by backporting the following linux-2.6 commit: commit 094e9539bd24bbe23b8e2741e903b0f3f1f85b03 Author: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm> Date: Tue Feb 2 13:44:14 2010 -0800 hugetlb: fix section mismatches
