From: Jia He <jia.he@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: page_alloc: reduce unnecessary binary search in memblock_next_valid_pfn()
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.
Furthermore, if the pfn is in a gap of two memory region, skip to next
region directly if possible.
Attached the memblock region information in my server.
