Subject: mm/pagealloc.c: refactor initialization of stuct page for holes in memory layout
There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical memory.
This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple of
SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes
reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory.
Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem() function
that iterated through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if there is a
struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields if this page are set to
default values and it is marked as Reserved.
init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page
belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero.
On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA, for
instance in a configuration below:
# grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem
7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type
7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM
unset zone link in struct page will trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);
because there are pages in both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_DMA (unset zone link
in struct page) in the same pageblock.
Interleave initialization of pages that correspond to holes with the
initialization of memory map, so that zone and node information will be
properly set on such pages.
