The struct pages representing a reserved memory region are initialized
using reserve_bootmem_range() function. This function is called for each
reserved region just before the memory is freed from memblock to the buddy
page allocator.
The struct pages for MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions are kept with the default
values set by the memory map initialization which makes it necessary to
have a special treatment for such pages in pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid_within().
I assume these pages are never given to the buddy, because we don't have
a direct mapping. So to the kernel, it's essentially just like a memory
hole with benefits.
I can spot that we want to export such memory like any special memory
thingy/hole in /proc/iomem -- "reserved", which makes sense.
I would assume that MEMBLOCK_NOMAP is a special type of *reserved*
memory. IOW, that for_each_reserved_mem_range() should already succeed
on these as well -- we should mark anything that is MEMBLOCK_NOMAP
implicitly as reserved. Or are there valid reasons not to do so? What
can anyone do with that memory?
I assume they are pretty much useless for the kernel, right? Like other
reserved memory ranges.
Split out initialization of the reserved pages to a function with a
meaningful name and treat the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions the same way as the
reserved regions and mark struct pages for the NOMAP regions as
PageReserved.
