Couldn't build with s5pv210_defconfig when used mmotm tree, And couldn't apply your patch against latest mainline 35-rc5. Could you please remake your patch against mainline 35-rc5? Or...please let me know how I can test on my board(smdkv210). > > register address of mem_section to memmap itself's page struct's pg->private > field. > This means the page is used for memmap of the section. > Otherwise, the page is used for other purpose and memmap has a hole. > > --- > arch/arm/mm/init.c | 11 ++++++++++- > include/linux/mmzone.h | 19 ++++++++++++++++++- > mm/sparse.c | 37 > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 3 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > Index: mmotm-2.6.35-0701/include/linux/mmzone.h > ============================================================= > ====== > --- mmotm-2.6.35-0701.orig/include/linux/mmzone.h > +++ mmotm-2.6.35-0701/include/linux/mmzone.h > @@ -1047,11 +1047,28 @@ static inline struct mem_section *__pfn_ > return __nr_to_section(pfn_to_section_nr(pfn)); > } > > +#ifdef CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_HAS_PIT > +void mark_memmap_pit(unsigned long start, unsigned long end, bool valid); > +static inline int page_valid(struct mem_section *ms, unsigned long pfn) > +{ > + struct page *page = pfn_to_page(pfn); > + struct page *__pg = virt_to_page(page); > + return __pg->private == ms; > +} > +#else > +static inline int page_valid(struct mem_section *ms, unsigned long pfn) > +{ > + return 1; > +} > +#endif > + > static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn) > { > + struct mem_section *ms; > if (pfn_to_section_nr(pfn) >= NR_MEM_SECTIONS) > return 0; > - return valid_section(__nr_to_section(pfn_to_section_nr(pfn))); > + ms = __nr_to_section(pfn_to_section_nr(pfn)); > + return valid_section(ms) && page_valid(ms, pfn); > } > > static inline int pfn_present(unsigned long pfn) > Index: mmotm-2.6.35-0701/mm/sparse.c > ============================================================= > ====== > --- mmotm-2.6.35-0701.orig/mm/sparse.c > +++ mmotm-2.6.35-0701/mm/sparse.c > @@ -615,6 +615,43 @@ void __init sparse_init(void) > free_bootmem(__pa(usemap_map), size); > } > > +#ifdef CONFIT_SPARSEMEM_HAS_PIT > +/* > + * Fill memmap's pg->private with a pointer to mem_section. > + * pfn_valid() will check this later.
