[patch] GFP_ZONEMASK vs. MAX_NR_ZONES

From: Matthew Dobson (colpatch@us.ibm.com)

Ok... hot on the heels of the other GFP_ZONEMASK patch:

struct bootmem_data;
typedef struct pglist_data {
        struct zone node_zones[MAX_NR_ZONES];
        struct zonelist node_zonelists[GFP_ZONEMASK+1];
        int nr_zones;
        struct page *node_mem_map;
        unsigned long *valid_addr_bitmap;
        struct bootmem_data *bdata;
        unsigned long node_start_pfn;
        unsigned long node_size;
        int node_id;
        struct pglist_data *pgdat_next;
        wait_queue_head_t kswapd_wait;
} pg_data_t;

node_zonelists looks like it should really be declared of size
MAX_NR_ZONES, not GFP_ZONEMASK. GFP_ZONEMASK is currently 15, making
node_zonelists an array of 16 elements. The extra zonelists are all
just duplicates of the *real* zonelists, namely the first 3 entries.
Again, if anyone can explain to me why I'm wrong in my thinking, I'd
love to know. There's certainly no way you could bitwise-and something
with any combination of the GFP_DMA and GFP_HIGHMEM flags to refer to
the 12th zonelist or some such! Or am I crazy?

Cheers!
