Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") optimized the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But there is
still some room for improvement. E.g. if pfn and pfn+1 are in the same
memblock region, we can simply pfn++ instead of doing the binary search
in memblock_next_valid_pfn.
Sure, but I bet if we are >end_pfn, we're almost certainly going to the
start_pfn of the next block, so why not test that as well?

+	/* fast path, return pfn+1 if next pfn is in the same region */
+	if (early_region_idx != -1) {
+		start_pfn = PFN_DOWN(regions[early_region_idx].base);
+		end_pfn = PFN_DOWN(regions[early_region_idx].base +
+				regions[early_region_idx].size);
+
+		if (pfn >= start_pfn && pfn < end_pfn)
+			return pfn;
		early_region_idx++;
		start_pfn = PFN_DOWN(regions[early_region_idx].base);
		if (pfn >= end_pfn && pfn <= start_pfn)
			return start_pfn;
Thanks, thus the binary search in next step can be discarded?
