前面已经分析了内存管理框架的构建实现过程，有部分内容未完全呈现出来，这里主要做个补充。
如下图，这是前面已经看到过的linux物理内存管理框架的层次关系。
现着重分析一下各个管理结构体的成员功能作用。

} pg_data_t;——存放该pg_data_t里面的zone；
——其指向一个page结构的数组，数组中的每个成员为该节点中的一个物理页面，于是整个数组就对应了该节点中所有的物理页面；
——用于管理page_cgroup，原来的page_cgroup是page页面管理结构的一个成员，现在移到这里了，它将会在初始化时所有的page_cgroup都将申请下来；
——该数据指向bootmem_node_data，可以通过system.map查到。原是用于bootmem内存分配器的信息存储，当前改用memblock算法，则不存在该成员；
——指向当前pg_data_t结构管理的物理起始页面；
——记录物理页面数总量，除开内存空洞的物理页面数；
——最大和最小页面号的差值，包括内存空洞的总的物理页面大小；
——pg_data_t对应的索引号，非NUMA架构下该值为0；
——用于记录可回收的内存管理节点node信息；
——kswapd是页面交换守护线程，该线程会阻塞在这个等待队列，当满足条件后，调用wake_up_interruptible()唤醒该队列进行相关操作；
——用于减缓内存直接回收；
——指向kswapd守护线程的任务指针；
——用于表示kswapd守护线程每次回收的页面个数；
——该成员与kswapd有关；

* truly available, a la thundering herd. The cost of a
* collision is great, but given the expected load of the
* table, they should be so rare as to be outweighed by the
* benefits from the saved space.

* present_pages = spanned_pages - absent_pages(pages in holes);
*
* managed_pages is present pages managed by the buddy system, which
* is calculated as (reserved_pages includes pages allocated by the
* bootmem allocator):
* managed_pages = present_pages - reserved_pages;
*
* So present_pages may be used by memory hotplug or memory power
* management logic to figure out unmanaged pages by checking
* (present_pages - managed_pages). And managed_pages should be used
* by page allocator and vm scanner to calculate all kinds of watermarks
* and thresholds.
*
* Locking rules:
*
* zone_start_pfn and spanned_pages are protected by span_seqlock.
* It is a seqlock because it has to be read outside of zone->lock,
* and it is done in the main allocator path. But, it is written
* quite infrequently.
*
* The span_seq lock is declared along with zone->lock because it is
* frequently read in proximity to zone->lock. It's good to
* give them a chance of being in the same cacheline.
*
* Write access to present_pages at runtime should be protected by
* lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug(). Any reader who can't
* tolerant drift of present_pages should hold memory hotplug lock to
* get a stable value.
*
* Read access to managed_pages should be safe because it's unsigned
* long. Write access to zone->managed_pages and totalram_pages are
* protected by managed_page_count_lock at runtime. Idealy only
* adjust_managed_page_count() should be used instead of directly
* touching zone->managed_pages and totalram_pages.

} ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp;——该数组有三个值WMARK_MIN、WMARK_LOW、WMARK_HIGH，如命名所标识，min最小，low居中，high最大。内存分配过程中，当空闲页面达到low时，内存分配器会唤醒kswapd守护进程来回收物理页面；当空闲页面达到min时，内存分配器就会唤醒kswapd以同步方式回收；如果kswapd被唤醒后，空闲页面达到high时，则会使kswapd再次休眠；
——当空闲页面低于该值，将会引发附加操作的执行，用于避免前面的watermark被冲破；
——记录每个管理区中必须保留的物理页面数，以用于紧急状况下的内存分配；
——用于表示不会被内存分配器分配出去的空闲页面部分的近似值；
——该数组里面的成员pcp用于实现冷热页面的管理；
——spinlock锁，用于解决该管理区的并发问题；
——主要用于Buddy内存管理算法（伙伴算法）；
——与伙伴算法的碎片迁移算法有关；
——用于保护lruvec结构数据；
——lruvec该数组里面有一个lists是用于lru管理的链表，另外有一个reclaim_stat用于页面回收的状态标示；
——用于记录上次物理页面回收时，扫描过的页描述符总数；

——除去内存空洞后的内存管理区实际有效的总页面数；
——用于记录被内存管理算法管理的物理页面数，这是除去了在初始化阶段被申请的页面；
