[PATCH 1/4] mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat

From: Jiang Liu
Date: Thu Jul 05 2012 - 05:50:39 EST


When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node,
a fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code
to try to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below:
/*
* The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding
* to access not-initialized zonelist, build here.
*/
mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex);
build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL);
mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex);

But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
online nodes as:
for_each_online_node(nid) {
pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);

build_zonelists(pgdat);
build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
}

Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't.
So add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat
for the new pgdat too.
