[PATCH 4/4] mm/page_alloc: initialize node_possible_map like the other node maps
From: Sang-Heon Jeon
Date: Wed Jul 01 2026 - 13:28:51 EST
node_states[N_POSSIBLE], aliased by node_possible_map, is initialized to
NODE_MASK_ALL, unlike the other entries, which are initialized with only
node 0 set.
On !NUMA, MAX_NUMNODES == 1, so initializing node_possible_map to
NODE_MASK_ALL is equivalent to initializing it with only node 0 set.
On NUMA, every architecture now sets node_possible_map after parsing its
NUMA topology, so nothing relies on the initial value.
So, instead of initializing node_possible_map to NODE_MASK_ALL, set only
node 0, like the other entries. Then NODE_MASK_ALL is no longer used, so
remove it and its only helper NODE_MASK_LAST_WORD.
No functional change.
