> I don't think this works because if the memmap pages get reused, the corresponding struct page->private could be used by chance in such a way that it has the value of MEMMAP_HOLE. Of course unlikely but possible. And after all the whole point of freeing part of the memmap is that it could be reused.

You're absolutely right.
Previous version, I didn't do such as.
In this version, I wanted to remove dependency of page->private and
mem_section to identify hole memmap for using it in FLATMEM of ARM but
make mistake.
I will resend the patch

Thanks for careful review.
