Subject: Have some confusion about the pfn_valid() ?
Date: Sat, 6 Feb 2016 16:14:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56B5AB4F.3030809@huawei.com> (raw)
Hi
In my opinion, pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid
section, and That section can contain corresponding mem_map. but, the section can
be has holes, the corresponding mem_map also be allcoated, resulting in treating
the PFN as valid incorrect.
what's problem for the interpretation of the above?
