Given a page, we would like to have an efficient mechanism to find out
the node memory region and the zone memory region to which it belongs.
Since the node is assumed to be divided into equal-sized node memory
regions, the node memory region index can be obtained by simply right-shifting
the page's pfn by 'mem_region_shift'.
But finding the corresponding zone memory region's index in the zone is
not that straight-forward. To have a O(1) algorithm to find it out, define a
zone_region_idx[] array to store the zone memory region indices for every
node memory region.
To illustrate, consider the following example:
|<---------------------Node---------------------->|
_________________________________________________
| Node mem reg 0 | Node mem reg 1 |
|_______________________|_________________________|
_________________________________________________
| ZONE_DMA | ZONE_NORMAL |
|_______________|_________________________________|
In the above figure,
Node mem region 0:
------------------
This region corresponds to the first zone mem region in ZONE_DMA and also
the first zone mem region in ZONE_NORMAL. Hence its index array would look
like this:
node_regions[0].zone_region_idx[ZONE_DMA] == 0
node_regions[0].zone_region_idx[ZONE_NORMAL] == 0
Node mem region 1:
------------------
This region corresponds to the second zone mem region in ZONE_NORMAL. Hence
its index array would look like this:
node_regions[1].zone_region_idx[ZONE_NORMAL] == 1
Using this index array, we can quickly obtain the zone memory region to
which a given page belongs.
