[PATCH v6 5/5] mm,page_alloc: Drop unnecessary checks from pfn_range_valid_contig

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

 



pfn_range_valid_contig() bails out when it finds an in-use page or a
hugetlb page, among other things.
We can drop the in-use page check since __alloc_contig_pages can migrate
away those pages, and the hugetlb page check can go too since
isolate_migratepages_range is now capable of dealing with hugetlb pages.
Either way, those checks are racy so let the end function handle it
when the time comes.
