If we have holes, the holes will automatically get detected and removed once we remove the next bigger/smaller section. The extra checks can go.

If you ask me: unlikely :)Yeah, I also think it's unlikely to come here. The 'if (zone_start_pfn == start_pfn)' checking also covers the case (zone_start_pfn == start_pfn && zone_end_pfn == end_pfn). So this zone_start_pfn/spanned_pages resetting can be removed to avoid confusion.At least I would find it more confusing without it (or want a comment explaining why this does not have to be handled and why the !pfn case is not possible).
I don't get why being w/o it will be more confusing, but it's OK since it doesn't impact anything.
Anyhow, that patch is already upstream and I don't consider this high priority. Thanks :)
Yeah, noticed you told Wei the status in another patch thread, I am fine with it, just leave it to you to decide. Thanks.
