All possible nodes are now pre-allocated at boot time by free_area_init()->
free_area_init_node(), and those which are to be hot-plugged are initialized
later on by hotadd_init_pgdat()->free_area_init_core_hotplug() when they
become online.
free_area_init_core_hotplug() calls pgdat_init_internals() and
zone_init_internals() to initialize some internal data structures
and zeroes a few pgdat fields.
But we do already call pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals()
for all possible nodes back in free_area_init_core(), and pgdat fields
are already zeroed because the pre-allocation memsets with 0s the
structure, meaning we do not need to repeat the process when
the node becomes online.
So initialize it only once when booting, and make sure to reset
the fields we care about to 0 when the node goes empty.
The only thing we need to check for is to allocate per_cpu_nodestats
struct the very first time this node goes online.
node_reset_state() is the function in charge of resetting pgdat's fields,
and it is called when offline_pages() detects that the node becomes empty
worth of memory.

^ what is that? it should be "highest_zone_idx" and I don't see any
reason that we really need this.
To detect if a node is empty we can use pgdat_is_empty(). To detect if a
zone is empty we can use zone_is_empty().
The usage of "pgdat->nr_zones" as an optimization is questionable,
especially when iterating over our handful of zones where most nodes
miss the *lower* zones like ZONE_DMA* in practice and have ZONE_NORMAL.
Can we get rid of that and just check pgdat_is_empty() and
zone_is_empty() and iterate all applicable zones from 0..X?
If it amkes sense what I'm saying, that could be done before this patch.

Uhm, I thought we need to reset this, otherwise init_currently_empty_zone()
might not set it to a right value:
...
if (zone_idx > pgdat->nr_zones)
pgdat->nr_zones = zone_idx
...
At least we set it to 0 in free_area_init_core_hotplug() (before this patch).

So, lemme see if I get you.
You mean to e.g: replace the following (code snippet from set_pgdat_percpu_threshold)
for (i = 0; i < pgdat->nr_zones; i++) {
zone = &pgdat->node_zones[i];
[some code]
}
with this:
for (zid = 0; zid < MAX_NR_ZONES; i++) {
struct zone *zone = pgdat->node_zones + i;
if (zone_is_empty(zone))
continue;
}
I guess we can, and I can see that we have a mix of both usages, so it might be
good to consolidate one.
And actually, I think we do the same amount of work, right? So not really an
optimization in those pieces of code.
The only thing that unsettles me is the compaction part.
We set pgdat->kcompactd_highest_zoneidx by checking pgdat->nr_zones, and use
that as our compact_control->highest_zoneidx. (kcompactd->kcompactd_do_work)
Now, I do not really see any reason we could not adapt that code to not
realy on pgdat->nr_zones, but I would have to check further how this
interacts with highest_zoneidx down the road, and where else should
we rewrite code.

Yeah, I don't think we need to, the nodes+zones should be empty either
way. Maybe a micro-optimization that doesn't really optimize anything
that much?
free_area_init_node() warns if it isn't reset, but my gut feeling is
this is completely unnecessary. We're not dealing with 200 zones ...

Yes, some places that are not interested in ZONE_DEVICE might want to
skip that completely. See below.

That's my understanding.

I wonder why we would want to use ZONE_DEVICE there ...
move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone() would set
pgdat->nr_zones = ZONE_DEVICE.
Which looks unnecessary.
