Do you mean before I called DMCreateMatrix() ? I called
DMSetDefaultSection(da,s) as below:

...
 ierr = PetscSectionSetUp(s);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    ierr = DMSetDefaultSection(dm, s);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    ierr = PetscSectionDestroy(&s);CHKERRQ(ierr);
//    ierr = DMGetMatrix(dm,&A);CHKERRQ(ierr);  //It seems DMGetMatrix is
changed to DMCreateMatrix().
    ierr = DMCreateMatrix(dm,&A);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    ierr = MatView(A,PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD);CHKERRQ(ierr);

This MatView on A shows (result below) that it still has 16 rows for all
DMDA points instead of only those petscsection points for which I set a
non-zero dof. Is it what it should not be doing ?
