From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx>
Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug path,
we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core().
But there is some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming
from such path.
free_area_init_core() performs the following actions:
1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more.
2) Account # nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on
when creating hash tables.
3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and memmap pages.
4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data
5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists
6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone
When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs actions #1 and #4.
Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the node was freed,
or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to this node should have 0 pages.
For the same reason, action #3 results always in manages_pages being 0.
Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages:
online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone()
online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone()
This patch moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it allows us
to create a small version of free_area_init_core(next patch), where we only perform:
1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more
4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data
This patch only introduces these two functions.
