The expectation is that there is currently no user that would pass in non-contigous page ranges: no allocator, not even VMA, will hand these out. The only problematic part would be if someone would provide a range obtained directly from memblock, or manually merge problematic ranges. If we find such cases, we should fix them to create separate SG entries. Let's check in sg_set_page() that this is really the case. No need to check in sg_set_folio(), as pages in a folio are guaranteed to be contiguous. As sg_set_page() gets inlined into modules, we have to export the page_range_contiguous() helper -- use EXPORT_SYMBOL, there is nothing special about this helper such that we would want to enforce GPL-only modules. We can now drop the nth_page() usage in sg_page_iter_page().

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.
