From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
build_zonelists gradually builds zonelists from the nearest to the most
distant node. As we do not know how many populated zones we will have in
each node we rely on the _zoneref to terminate initialized part of the
zonelist by a NULL zone. While this is functionally correct it is quite
suboptimal because we cannot allow updaters to race with zonelists
users because they could see an empty zonelist and fail the allocation
or hit the OOM killer in the worst case.
We can do much better, though. We can store the node ordering into an
already existing node_order array and then give this array to
build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once.
zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that
should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and
they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the
worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures.
While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather
confusing now. It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns
the updated index for the next iteration. Let's rename the function
to build_zonerefs_node to better reflect its purpose and give it
zoneref array to update. The function doesn't the index anymore. It
just returns the number of added zones so that the caller can advance
the zonered array start for the next update.
This patch alone doesn't introduce any functional change yet, though, it
is merely a preparatory work for later changes.
Changes since v1
- build_zonelists_node -> build_zonerefs_node and operate directly on
zonerefs array rather than play tricks with index into the array.
- give build_zonelists_in_node_order nr_nodes to not iterate over all
MAX_NUMNODES as per Mel
