The usual way to get a zonelist consisting of all zones ordered by preferring a node is node_zonelist(nid, GFP_KERNEL), but there's no difference between using GFP_KERNEL, GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, or even 0. I simply duplicated what the sysrq trigger was doing, but you could also do &first_online_pgdat->node_zonelists[0], it's really just a matter of preference. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
