[PATCH v3 2/4] memblock: update initialization of reserved pages

Mike Rapoport rppt at kernel.org
Thu Apr 22 07:19:00 BST 2021


From: Mike Rapoport <rppt at linux.ibm.com>

The struct pages representing a reserved memory region are initialized
using reserve_bootmem_range() function. This function is called for each
reserved region just before the memory is freed from memblock to the buddy
page allocator.

The struct pages for MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions are kept with the default
values set by the memory map initialization which makes it necessary to
have a special treatment for such pages in pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid_within().

Split out initialization of the reserved pages to a function with a
meaningful name and treat the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions the same way as the
reserved regions and mark struct pages for the NOMAP regions as
PageReserved.
