On 10/03/2012 10:56 PM, Mike Yoknis wrote:
memmap_init_zone() loops through every Page Frame Number (pfn),
including pfn values that are within the gaps between existing
memory sections.  The unneeded looping will become a boot
performance issue when machines configure larger memory ranges
that will contain larger and more numerous gaps.

The code will skip across invalid sections to reduce the
number of loops executed.

looks reasonable to me.
