That's not the case for sparsemem > (at least).
Good point. The "page" pointer (and memory range) passed to this function has been allocated with alloc_pages(), so the range is guaranteed to be physically contiguous but it does not imply a single mem_map[] array. For arm64 with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE it's safe but not all architectures use this (especially on 32-bit).
What about using pfn_to_page(pfn + i)?
Thanks.
