[RFC PATCH] mm, page_alloc: avoid page_to_pfn() in move_freepages()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The start_pfn and end_pfn are already available in move_freepages_block(),
pfn_valid_within() should validate pfn first before touching the page,
or we might access an unitialized page with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configs.
