[PATCH] mm/vmstat: Fix placement of per-node stats in /proc/zoneinfo

From: Shivank Garg
Date: Thu Jul 25 2024 - 06:57:26 EST


The per-node stats in /proc/zoneinfo output are incorrectly inserted
between the first populated zone title and its specific stats. This
creates confusion while reading or parsing its output.

Output of /proc/zoneinfo

Node 0, zone DMA
per-node stats
nr_inactive_anon 2096
...
pages free 2814
boost 0
...
nr_free_pages 2814
...
Node 0, zone DMA32
pages free 357384
boost 0
...
...
Node 1, zone Normal
per-node stats
nr_inactive_anon 87606
...
pages free 51836334
boost 0
...
Node 1, zone Movable
pages free 0
boost 0

This patch relocates the per-node stats at the beginning for each node,
followed by the individual zone statistics. This fix results in a clearer
and more consistent output format.

/proc/zoneinfo output with proposed fix:

Node 0, per-node stats
nr_inactive_anon 2783
nr_active_anon 36
...
Node 0, zone DMA
pages free 3584
boost 0
min 46
...
...

Remove is_zone_first_populated() as it is not used anywhere else.
