Subject: add pfn_valid_within helper for sub-MAX_ORDER hole detection
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~44129
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=14e072984179d3d421bf9ab75cc67e0961742841;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

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.
