[PATCH] mm/memory_hotplug: build zonelist for managed_zone

From: Wei Yang
Date: Wed Jan 26 2022 - 20:20:46 EST


During memory hotplug, when online/offline a zone, we need to rebuild
the zonelist for all node. There are two checks to decide whether a zone
would be added to zonelist:

* one in online_pages/offline_pages to decide necessity
* one in build_zonerefs_node to do real add

Currently we use different criteria at these two places, which is
different from the original behavior.

Originally during memory hotplug, zonelist is re-built when zone hasn't
been populated. This in introduced in 'commit 6811378e7d8b ("[PATCH]
wait_table and zonelist initializing for memory hotadd: update zonelists")'.
And at that moment, build_zonelists_node() also use populated_zone() to
decide whether the zone should be added to zonelist.

While in 'commit 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim
from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator")',
build_zonelists_node() changed to use managed_zone() to add zonelist.
But we still use populated_zone() to decide the necessity.

This patch restore the original behavior by using the same criteria to
add a zone in zonelist during memory hotplug.
