SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] page_ext: create page extension for all memblock memory regions
Hello Mike Rapoport
Thank you for your comment.

Oh really? Could you point out the code or the commit regarding 'all
struct pages in any section should be valid and
properly initialized' ?

Actually I am using v5.10 based source tree on an arm64 device.
I tried to look up and found the following commit in v5.16-rc1, did
you mean this?
3de360c3fdb3 arm64/mm: drop HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID

I guess memblock_is_memory code in pfn_valid in arch/arm64/mm/init.c, v5.10
might affect the page_ext_init.

Thank you
