Yes, for arm64 to use the generic pfn_valid() it'd need to stop freeing parts of the memory map. Presuming struct page is 64 bytes, the memory map takes 2M per section in the worst case (128M per section, 4k pages). So for systems that have less than 128M populated in each section freeing unused memory map would mean significant savings. But nowadays when a clock has at least 1G of RAM I doubt this is relevant to many systems if at all. -- Sincerely yours, Mike.
