The arch code may decide to not activate such a node. However, currently the early boot code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes. These nodes therefore seem to be active although these nodes have no present pages. for 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <Yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/page_alloc.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff -puN mm/page_alloc.c~page-allocator-clear-n_high_memory-map-before-se-set-it-again mm/page_alloc.c --- a/mm/page_alloc.c~page-allocator-clear-n_high_memory-map-before-se-set-it-again +++ a/mm/page_alloc.c @@ -4222,6 +4222,11 @@ void __init free_area_init_nodes(unsigne early_node_map[i].start_pfn, early_node_map[i].end_pfn); + /* + * find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes/early_calculate_totalpages init + * that node_mask, clear it at first + */ + nodes_clear(node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]); /* Initialise every node */ mminit_verify_pageflags_layout(); setup_nr_node_ids(); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx are linux-next.patch page-allocator-clear-n_high_memory-map-before-se-set-it-again.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
