Kirill A. Shutemov 3f1353552e mm/page_alloc: skip non present sections on zone initialization 
memmap_init_zone() can be called on the ranges with holes during the
boot.  It will skip any non-valid PFNs one-by-one.  It works fine as
long as holes are not too big.

But huge holes in the memory map causes a problem.  It takes over 20
seconds to walk 32TiB hole.  x86-64 with 5-level paging allows for much
larger holes in the memory map which would practically hang the system.

Deferred struct page init doesn't help here.  It only works on the
present ranges.

Skipping non-present sections would fix the issue.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
