From 14e072984179d3d421bf9ab75cc67e0961742841 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Whitcroft Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 14:49:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] add pfn_valid_within helper for sub-MAX_ORDER hole detection Generally we work under the assumption that memory the mem_map array is contigious and valid out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages, ie. that if we have validated any page within this MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block we need not check any other. This is not true when CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is set and we must check each and every reference we make from a pfn. Add a pfn_valid_within() helper which should be used when scanning pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block when we have already checked the validility of the block normally with pfn_valid(). This can then be optimised away when we do not have holes within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages.
