init_pages_in_zone() is run under zone->lock, which means a long lock time and disabled interrupts on large machines. This is currently not an issue since it runs early in boot, but a later patch will change that. However, like other pfn scanners, we don't actually need zone->lock even when other cpus are running. The only potentially dangerous operation here is reading bogus buddy page owner due to race, and we already know how to handle that. The worst that can happen is that we skip some early allocated pages, which should not affect the debugging power of page_owner noticeably.

README
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.
