Will fix. thanks.

Good question.
if we make following macro,

#define for_each_populated_zone(zone)                        \
     for (zone = (first_online_pgdat())->node_zones; \
          zone;                                      \
          zone = next_zone(zone))                    \
             if (populated_zone(zone))

and, writing following caller code.

if (always_true_assumption)
  for_each_populated_zone(){
     /* some code */
  }
else
  panic();

expand to

if (always_true_assumption)
  for()
     if (populated_zone() {
     /* some code */
  }
else
  panic();

then, memoryless node cause panic().
