Subject: mem-hotplug: reset node present pages when hot-adding a new pgdat
From: Tang Chen <[email protected]>
commit 0bd854200873894a76f32603ff2c4c988ad6b5b5 upstream.
When memory is hot-added, all the memory is in offline state. So clear
all zones' present_pages because they will be updated in online_pages()
and offline_pages(). Otherwise, /proc/zoneinfo will corrupt:
When the memory of node2 is offline:
# cat /proc/zoneinfo
......
Node 2, zone Movable
......
spanned 8388608
present 8388608
managed 0
When we online memory on node2:
# cat /proc/zoneinfo
......
Node 2, zone Movable
......
spanned 8388608
present 16777216
managed 8388608
