The arm64's version of pfn_valid() differs from the generic because of two reasons: * Parts of the memory map are freed during boot. This makes it necessary to verify that there is actual physical memory that corresponds to a pfn which is done by querying memblock. * There are NOMAP memory regions. These regions are not mapped in the linear map and until the previous commit the struct pages representing these areas had default values. As the consequence of absence of the special treatment of NOMAP regions in the memory map it was necessary to use memblock_is_map_memory() in pfn_valid() and to have pfn_valid_within() aliased to pfn_valid() so that generic mm functionality would not treat a NOMAP page as a normal page. Since the NOMAP regions are now marked as PageReserved(), pfn walkers and the rest of core mm will treat them as unusable memory and thus pfn_valid_within() is no longer required at all and can be disabled on arm64. pfn_valid() can be slightly simplified by replacing memblock_is_map_memory() with memblock_is_memory().

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
