Subject[PATCH 2/4] mm/hotplug: correctly add new zone to all other nodes' zone lists
Date
When online_pages() is called to add new memory to an empty zone,
it rebuilds all zone lists by calling build_all_zonelists().
But there's a bug which prevents the new zone to be added to other
nodes' zone lists.

online_pages() {
build_all_zonelists()
.....
node_set_state(zone_to_nid(zone), N_HIGH_MEMORY)
}

Here the node of the zone is put into N_HIGH_MEMORY state after calling
build_all_zonelists(), but build_all_zonelists() only adds zones from
nodes in N_HIGH_MEMORY state to the fallback zone lists.
build_all_zonelists()
->__build_all_zonelists()
->build_zonelists()
->find_next_best_node()
->for_each_node_state(n, N_HIGH_MEMORY)

So memory in the new zone will never be used by other nodes, and it may
cause strange behavor when system is under memory pressure. So put node
into N_HIGH_MEMORY state before calling build_all_zonelists().
