It is walking physical memory, not memory managment chains. I need
something like:
static int saveable(struct zone * zone, unsigned long * zone_pfn)
{
unsigned long pfn = *zone_pfn + zone->zone_start_pfn;
struct page * page;
if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
return 0;
page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
BUG_ON(PageReserved(page) && PageNosave(page));
if (PageNosave(page))
return 0;
if (PageReserved(page) && pfn_is_nosave(pfn)) {
pr_debug("[nosave pfn 0x%lx]", pfn);
return 0;
}
if (PageNosaveFree(page))
return 0;
return 1;
}
