Hi Stephen,

I made below change, but I can't triger these warnings. Could you try
below patch, see if it's works?

Subject: [PATCH] mm/sparse.c: fix the building warning with !SPARSEMEM

Stephen reported below warnings are seen with allnoconfig on x86_64.
Fix it by making those dummy functions sub-section map handling visible
with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM enabled.

mm/sparse.c:311:12: warning: 'fill_subsection_map' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
  311 | static int fill_subsection_map(unsigned long pfn, unsigned long nr_pages)
      |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  306 | static bool is_subsection_map_empty(struct mem_section *ms)
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/sparse.c:301:12: warning: 'clear_subsection_map' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
  301 | static int clear_subsection_map(unsigned long pfn, unsigned long nr_pages)
