Subject: mem-hotplug: reset node managed pages when hot-adding a new pgdat
From: Tang Chen <tangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f784a3f19613901ca4539a5b0eed3bdc700e6ee7 upstream.
In free_area_init_core(), zone->managed_pages is set to an approximate
value for lowmem, and will be adjusted when the bootmem allocator frees
pages into the buddy system.
But free_area_init_core() is also called by hotadd_new_pgdat() when
hot-adding memory. As a result, zone->managed_pages of the newly added
node's pgdat is set to an approximate value in the very beginning.
Even if the memory on that node has node been onlined,
/sys/device/system/node/nodeXXX/meminfo has wrong value:
hot-add node2 (memory not onlined)
cat /sys/device/system/node/node2/meminfo
Node 2 MemTotal: 33554432 kB
Node 2 MemFree: 0 kB
Node 2 MemUsed: 33554432 kB
Node 2 Active: 0 kB
This patch fixes this problem by reset node managed pages to 0 after
hot-adding a new node.
1. Move reset_managed_pages_done from reset_node_managed_pages() to
reset_all_zones_managed_pages()
2. Make reset_node_managed_pages() non-static
3. Call reset_node_managed_pages() in hotadd_new_pgdat() after pgdat
is initialized
