[PATCH 3/3] mm/vmalloc: move VM_UNINITIALIZED just before show_numa_info

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Mon Sep 02 2013 - 08:36:09 EST


The VM_UNINITIALIZED/VM_UNLIST flag introduced by commit f5252e00(mm: avoid
null pointer access in vm_struct via /proc/vmallocinfo) is used to avoid
accessing the pages field with unallocated page when show_numa_info() is
called. This patch move the check just before show_numa_info in order that
some messages still can be dumped via /proc/vmallocinfo.
