Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@...ux.ibm.com>

Hi,

After recent updates to freeing unused parts of the memory map, no
architecture can have holes in the memory map within a pageblock. This
makes pfn_valid_within() check and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configuration
option redundant.

The first patch removes them both in a mechanical way and the second patch
simplifies memory_hotplug::test_pages_in_a_zone() that had
pfn_valid_within() surrounded by more logic than simple if.

Mike Rapoport (2):
  mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
  mm: memory_hotplug: cleanup after removal of pfn_valid_within()
