[PATCH v9 3/6] arm: arm64: page_alloc: reduce unnecessary binary search in memblock_next_valid_pfn()

From: Jia He
Date: Thu Jun 28 2018 - 22:30:45 EST


Commit 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.
