Subject[BUG] Make setup_zone_migrate_reserve() aware of overlapping nodes
From
Date
I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back
on August 15th. My system has the following memory topology (note the
overlapping node):

Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000
Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000

setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000
looking for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list. Finding
no candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000.
When a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE
list on the wrong zone. Oops.

(Andrew: once the proper fix is agreed upon, this should also be a
candidate for -stable.)

setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping
nodes.
