mm/page_alloc.c: initialize memmap of unavailable memory directly
Let's make sure that all memory holes are actually marked PageReserved(),
that page_to_pfn() produces reliable results, and that these pages are not
detected as "mmap" pages due to the mapcount.
E.g., booting a x86-64 QEMU guest with 4160 MB:
[ 0.010585] Early memory node ranges
[ 0.010586] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff]
[ 0.010588] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffdefff]
[ 0.010589] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000000143ffffff]
max_pfn is 0x144000.
Before this change:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000,
flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000000000800 16384 64 ___________M_______________________________ mmap
total 16384 64
After this change:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000,
flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000100000000 16384 64 ___________________________r_______________ reserved
total 16384 64
IOW, especially the unavailable physical memory ("memory hole") in the
last section would not get properly marked PageReserved() and is indicated
to be "mmap" memory.
Drop the trace of that function from include/linux/mm.h - nobody else
needs it, and rename it accordingly.
Note: The fake zone/node might not be covered by the zone/node span. This
is not an urgent issue (for now, we had the same node/zone due to the
zeroing). We'll need a clean way to mark memory holes (e.g., using a page
type PageHole() if possible or a fake ZONE_INVALID) and eventually stop
marking these memory holes PageReserved().
