SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 4/5][RESEND] page_alloc: Make movablecore_map has higher priority
Hi Simon,

Thanks for reviewing. This logic is aimed at make movablecore_map
coexist with kernelcore/movablecore.

Please see below. :)

If users didn't specified kernelcore option, then zone_movable_pfn[]
and zone_movable_limit[] are all the same. We skip the logic.

If users didn't give any limitation of ZONE_MOVABLE on node i, we could
skip the logic too.

>> + end_pfn = min(end_pfn, zone_movable_limit[nid]);

In order to reuse the original kernelcore/movablecore logic, we keep
end_pfn <= zone_movable_limit[nid]. We device [start_pfn, end_pfn) into
two parts:
[start_pfn, zone_movable_limit[nid])
and
[zone_movable_limit[nid], end_pfn).

We just remove the second part, and go on to the original logic.

Since we re-evaluated end_pfn, if we have crossed the limitation, we
should stop.

>> + zone_movable_pfn[nid] =
>> + zone_movable_limit[nid];

Here, we found the real limitation. That means, the lowest pfn of
ZONE_MOVABLE is either zone_movable_limit[nid] or the value the original
logic calculates out, which is below zone_movable_limit[nid].

Then we break and go on to the next node.
