Current page initialization call flow looks like this with some simplification: setup_arch() paging_init() free_area_init() memmap_init() memmap_init_zone_range() memmap_init_range() defer_init() __init_single_page() mm_core_init() mem_init() memblock_free_all() free_low_memory_core_early() memmap_init_reserved_pages() reserve_bootmem_region() init_reserved_page() __init_single_page() There two cases depends on CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT. * If CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, pages after first_init_pfn is skipped at defer_init(). Then init_reserved_page() is defined to call __init_single_page() for them. * If !CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, pages are all initialized by memmap_init_range(). In both cases, after init_reserved_page(), we expect __init_single_page() has done its work to the page, which already initialize page->lru properly. We don't need to do it again.
