[patch 06/16] mm: make setup_zone_migrate_reserve() aware ofoverlapping nodes

[Greg KH]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Adam Litke <agl@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 344c790e3821dac37eb742ddd0b611a300f78b9a upstream

I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on
August 15th.  My system has the following memory topology (note the
overlapping node):

            Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000
            Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000

setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking
for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list.  Finding no
candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000.  When
a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on
the wrong zone.  Oops.

setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes.
