Thanks, Dave.

Please check for_each_managed_zone(), it is iterating online nodes and
it's each managed zone.

Is below what you are suggesting? The only difference is I introduced
for_each_managed_zone() which can be reused later if needed. Not sure if
I got your suggestion correctly.

bool has_managed_dma(void)
{
struct pglist_data *pgdat;
struct zone *zone;
enum zone_type i, j;

for_each_online_pgdat(pgdat) {
for (i = 0; i < MAX_NR_ZONES - 1; i++) {
struct zone *zone = &pgdat->node_zones[i];
if (zone_is_dma(zone))
return true;
}
}
return false;

}
