[PATCH] linearly index zone->node_zonelists[]
I wonder why we need this bitmask indexing into zone->node_zonelists[]? We always start with the highest zone and then include all lower zones if we build zonelists. Are there really cases where we need allocation from ZONE_DMA or ZONE_HIGHMEM but not ZONE_NORMAL? It seems that the current implementation of highest_zone() makes that already impossible. If we go linear on the index then gfp_zone() == highest_zone() and a lot of definitions fall by the wayside. We can now revert back to the use of gfp_zone() in mempolicy.c ;-) Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

/*
* When a memory allocation must conform to specific limitations (such
* as being suitable for DMA) the caller will pass in hints to the
* allocator in the gfp_mask, in the zone modifier bits. These bits
* are used to select a priority ordered list of memory zones which
- * match the requested limits. GFP_ZONEMASK defines which bits within
- * the gfp_mask should be considered as zone modifiers. Each valid
- * combination of the zone modifier bits has a corresponding list
- * of zones (in node_zonelists). Thus for two zone modifiers there
- * will be a maximum of 4 (2 ** 2) zonelists, for 3 modifiers there will
- * be 8 (2 ** 3) zonelists. GFP_ZONETYPES defines the number of possible
- * combinations of zone modifiers in "zone modifier space".
- *
- * As an optimisation any zone modifier bits which are only valid when
- * no other zone modifier bits are set (loners) should be placed in
- * the highest order bits of this field. This allows us to reduce the
- * extent of the zonelists thus saving space. For example in the case
- * of three zone modifier bits, we could require up to eight zonelists.
- * If the left most zone modifier is a "loner" then the highest valid
- * zonelist would be four allowing us to allocate only five zonelists.
- * Use the first form for GFP_ZONETYPES when the left most bit is not
- * a "loner", otherwise use the second.
- *
- * NOTE! Make sure this matches the zones in <linux/gfp.h>
+ * match the requested limits. See gfp_zone() in include/linux/gfp.h
