arm64/mm: Fix pfn_valid() for ZONE_DEVICE based memory
[ Upstream commit eeb0753b ] pfn_valid() validates a pfn but basically it checks for a valid struct page backing for that pfn. It should always return positive for memory ranges backed with struct page mapping. But currently pfn_valid() fails for all ZONE_DEVICE based memory types even though they have struct page mapping. pfn_valid() asserts that there is a memblock entry for a given pfn without MEMBLOCK_NOMAP flag being set. The problem with ZONE_DEVICE based memory is that they do not have memblock entries. Hence memblock_is_map_memory() will invariably fail via memblock_search() for a ZONE_DEVICE based address. This eventually fails pfn_valid() which is wrong. memblock_is_map_memory() needs to be skipped for such memory ranges. As ZONE_DEVICE memory gets hotplugged into the system via memremap_pages() called from a driver, their respective memory sections will not have SECTION_IS_EARLY set. Normal hotplug memory will never have MEMBLOCK_NOMAP set in their memblock regions. Because the flag MEMBLOCK_NOMAP was specifically designed and set for firmware reserved memory regions. memblock_is_map_memory() can just be skipped as its always going to be positive and that will be an optimization for the normal hotplug memory. Like ZONE_DEVICE based memory, all normal hotplugged memory too will not have SECTION_IS_EARLY set for their sections Skipping memblock_is_map_memory() for all non early memory sections would fix pfn_valid() problem for ZONE_DEVICE based memory and also improve its performance for normal hotplug memory as well.
