mm/hotplug: correctly add new zone to all other nodes' zone lists
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().
