The patch titled Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: just build zonelist for newly added node has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-memory_hotplug-just-build-zonelist-for-new-added-node.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: just build zonelist for newly added node 9adb62a5df9c0fbef7 ("mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat") tries to build the correct zonelist for a newly added node, while it is not necessary to rebuild it for already exist nodes. In build_zonelists(), it will iterate on nodes with memory. For a newly added node, it will have memory until node_states_set_node() is called in online_pages(). This patch avoids rebuilding the zonelists for already existing nodes. build_zonelists_node() uses managed_zone(zone) checks, so it should not include empty zones anyway. So effectively we avoid some pointless work under stop_machine().
