Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] mm/page_idle.c: Skip offline pages

> From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@...zon.de>
>
> 'Idle page tracking' users can pass random pfn that might be mapped to
> an offline page.  To avoid accessing such pages, this commit modifies
> the 'page_idle_get_page()' to use 'pfn_to_online_page()' instead of
> 'pfn_valid()' and 'pfn_to_page()' combination, so that the pfn mapped to
> an offline page can be skipped.
