[PATCH 2/5] [BUGFIX] memcg: fix init_page_cgroup nid with sparsemem

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Sun Jun 12 2011 - 21:09:17 EST



commit 21a3c96 makes page_cgroup allocation as NUMA aware. But that caused
a problem https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36192.

The problem was getting a NID from invalid struct pages, which was not
initialized because it was out-of-node, out of [node_start_pfn, node_end_pfn)

Now, with sparsemem, page_cgroup_init scans pfn from 0 to max_pfn.
But this may scan a pfn which is not on any node and can access
memmap which is not initialized.

This makes page_cgroup_init() for SPARSEMEM node aware and remove
a code to get nid from page->flags. (Then, we'll use valid NID
always.)

Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changelog :
- use better macros as node_start/end_pfn(), PAGE_SECTION_MASK..etc
- pull out error handling code, which is rarely called.
- fixed MEM_GOING_ONLINE case.
- Add more comments and updated patch descriptions.
