It will use another pfn_valid() implementation in
include/linux/mmzone.h if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and
!CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
It will be this one.

static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
        if (pfn_to_section_nr(pfn) >= NR_MEM_SECTIONS)
                return 0;
        return valid_section(__nr_to_section(pfn_to_section_nr(pfn)));
}

This generic pfn_valid() API can check the pfn is valid or not even if
there a hole in the memory.
For example:
A hole is between 0x100000000 to 0x180000000 (4GB-6GB) in my dts test case.

[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0x180000)=1
[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0x80000)=1
[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0x80200)=1
[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0x80300)=1
[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0x160000)=0
[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0x17ffff)=0
[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0x120000)=0
[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0x100000)=0
[    0.000000] In setup_bootmem, pfn_valid(0xfffff)=1

This generic pfn_valid() could tell the pfn is valid or not.


I think this one is only available for flatmem.
#define pfn_valid(pfn)  (((pfn) >= pfn_base) && (((pfn)-pfn_base) < max_mapnr))
