[PATCH 0/6] mm/mm_init.c: refactor free_area_init_core()

[Baoquan He]

In function free_area_init_core(), the code calculating
zone->managed_pages and the subtracting dma_reserve from DMA zone looks
very confusing.

>From git history, the code calculating zone->managed_pages was for
zone->present_pages originally. The early rough assignment is for
optimize zone's pcp and water mark setting. Later, managed_pages was
introduced into zone to represent the number of managed pages by buddy.
Now, zone->managed_pages is zeroed out and reset in mem_init() when
calling memblock_free_all(). zone's pcp and wmark setting relying on
actual zone->managed_pages are done later than mem_init() invocation.
So we don't need rush to early calculate and set zone->managed_pages,
just set it as zone->present_pages, will adjust it in mem_init().

And also add a new function calc_nr_kernel_pages() to count up free but
not reserved pages in memblock, then assign it to nr_all_pages and
nr_kernel_pages after memmap pages are allocated.


Baoquan He (6):
  mm/mm_init.c: remove the useless dma_reserve
  x86: remove unneeded memblock_find_dma_reserve()
  mm/mm_init.c: add new function calc_nr_all_pages()
  mm/mm_init.c: remove meaningless calculation of zone->managed_pages in
    free_area_init_core()
  mm/mm_init.c: remove unneeded calc_memmap_size()
  mm/mm_init.c: remove arch_reserved_kernel_pages()
