Subject: Re: [PATCH v9 2/6] mm: page_alloc: remain memblock_next_valid_pfn()
 on arm/arm64

Can you put it into memblock.c

> Do you think it looks ok if I add the inline prefix?

I would say no, this function is a too complex, and is not in some
critical path to be always inlined.

 I would put it into memblock.c, and have #ifdef
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_PFN_VALID around it.

Thank you,
Pavel
