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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
