check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing. First of all, we have this: if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY) return; Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY. I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will never evaluate to true. It makes sense to get rid of it. Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as well. We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <= ZONE_NORMAL. (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally) Although this works, it is a bit subtle. I think that this could be easier to follow: First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM. And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL, without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
