Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] mm: zone & pgdat accessors plus some cleanup
Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 14:52:52 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1358463181-17956-1-git-send-email-cody@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Summaries:
1 - avoid repeating checks for section in page flags by adding a define.
2 - add & switch to zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn()
3 - adds zone_is_initialized() & zone_is_empty()
4 - adds a VM_BUG using zone_is_initialized() in __free_one_page()
5 - add pgdat_end_pfn() and pgdat_is_empty()
6 - add debugging message to VM_BUG check.
7 - add ensure_zone_is_initialized() (for memory_hotplug)
8 - use the above addition in memory_hotplug
9 - use pgdat_end_pfn()

As a general concern: spanned_pages & start_pfn (in pgdat & zone) are supposed
to be locked (via a seqlock) when read (due to changes to them via
memory_hotplug), but very few (only 1?) of their users appear to actually lock
them.

--

Since v1:
 - drop zone+pgdat growth factoring (I use this in some WIP code to resign the
   NUMA node a page belongs to, will send with that patchset)
 - merge zone_end_pfn() & zone_spans_pfn() introduction & usage
 - split zone_is_initialized() & zone_is_empty() out from the above.
 - add a missing semicolon
