Initscripts can use the information (protection levels) from /proc/zoneinfo to configure vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio at boot. vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio is an array of ratios for each configured zone on the system. If a zone is not populated on an arch, /proc/zoneinfo suppresses its output. This results in there not being a 1:1 mapping between the set of zones emitted by /proc/zoneinfo and the zones configured by vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio. This patch shows statistics for non-populated zones in /proc/zoneinfo. The zones exist and hold a spot in the vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio array. Without this patch, it is not possible to determine which index in the array controls which zone if one or more zones on the system are not populated. Remaining users of walk_zones_in_node() are unchanged. Files such as /proc/pagetypeinfo require certain zone data to be initialized properly for display, which is not done for unpopulated zones.

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.
