Subject: mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization
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.
