[PATCH v6, part3 12/16] mm: make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot time

From: Jiang Liu
Date: Sat May 11 2013 - 13:42:09 EST


In order to simpilify management of totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, make __free_pages_bootmem() only available
at boot time. With this change applied, __free_pages_bootmem()
will only be used by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at boot time,
so mark it as __init. Other callers of __free_pages_bootmem()
have been converted to use free_reserved_page(), which handles
totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in a safer way.

This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which
should increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages
when freeing reserved pages.

And now we have managed_pages_count_lock to protect totalram_pages
and zone->managed_pages, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in
put_page_bootmem(). This greatly simplifies the locking rules.
