Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/page_alloc: refactor build_node_zonelist() out of build_zonelists()
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 17:58:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902215853.156267-3-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902215853.156267-1-gourry@gourry.net>
Extract per-node fallback-list construction into build_node_zonelist().
This lets us build new zonelists from candidate nodemasks instead of
just the default N_MEMORY node state list.
No functional change: build_zonelists() builds the same FALLBACK list over
N_MEMORY with node_load updates as before.
