Michal Hocko c246a213f5 mm, memory_hotplug: do not assume ZONE_NORMAL is default kernel zone
Heiko Carstens has noticed that he can generate overlapping zones for
ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL:

  DMA      [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000007fffffff]
  Normal   [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000017fffffff]

  $ cat /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
  10000000
  $ cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory5/valid_zones
  DMA
  $ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory5/online
  $ cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory5/valid_zones
  Normal
  $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory5/online
  Normal

  $ cat /proc/zoneinfo
  Node 0, zone      DMA
  spanned  524288        <-----
  present  458752
  managed  455078
  start_pfn:           0 <-----

  Node 0, zone   Normal
  spanned  720896
  present  589824
  managed  571648
  start_pfn:           327680 <-----

The reason is that we assume that the default zone for kernel onlining
is ZONE_NORMAL.  This was a simplification introduced by the memory
hotplug rework and it is easily fixable by checking the range overlap in
the zone order and considering the first matching zone as the default
one.  If there is no such zone then assume ZONE_NORMAL as we have been
doing so far.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
