[PATCH v3 0/4] arm64: drop pfn_valid_within() and simplify pfn_valid()

[Mike Rapoport]

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

These patches aim to remove CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE and essentially hardwire
pfn_valid_within() to 1. 

The idea is to mark NOMAP pages as reserved in the memory map and restore
the intended semantics of pfn_valid() to designate availability of struct
page for a pfn.

With this the core mm will be able to cope with the fact that it cannot use
NOMAP pages and the holes created by NOMAP ranges within MAX_ORDER blocks
will be treated correctly even without the need for pfn_valid_within.

The patches are only boot tested on qemu-system-aarch64 so I'd really
appreciate memory stress tests on real hardware.

If this actually works we'll be one step closer to drop custom pfn_valid()
on arm64 altogether.

v3:
* Fix minor issues found by Anshuman
* Freshen up the declaration of pfn_valid() to make it consistent with
  pfn_is_map_memory()
* Add more Acked-by and Reviewed-by tags, thanks Anshuman and David

v2: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210421065108.1987-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx
* Add check for PFN overflow in pfn_is_map_memory()
* Add Acked-by and Reviewed-by tags, thanks David.

v1: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210420090925.7457-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx
* Add comment about the semantics of pfn_valid() as Anshuman suggested
* Extend comments about MEMBLOCK_NOMAP, per Anshuman
* Use pfn_is_map_memory() name for the exported wrapper for
  memblock_is_map_memory(). It is still local to arch/arm64 in the end
  because of header dependency issues.
