We want to get rid of nth_page(), and kfence init code is the last user. Unfortunately, we might actually walk a PFN range where the pages are not contiguous, because we might be allocating an area from memblock that could span memory sections in problematic kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP). We could check whether the page range is contiguous using page_range_contiguous() and failing kfence init, or making kfence incompatible these problemtic kernel configs. Let's keep it simple and simply use pfn_to_page() by iterating PFNs.

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 reStructuredText 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.
