[PATCH 03/11] mm: mmzone: introduce zone_pfn_same_memmap()

[Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com>]

From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.com>

This commit introduces zone_pfn_same_memmap() function which checkes
whether two PFNs within the same zone have struct pages within the
same memmap.  This check is needed because in general pointer
arithmetic on struct pages may lead to invalid pointers.

On memory models that are not affected, zone_pfn_same_memmap() is
defined as always returning true so the call should be optimised
at compile time.
