On a side note, the current accounting of inactive/active pages is broken 
in refill_inactive_zone (due to pages being freed in __release_pages). 
I plan to fix that tomorrow - should be easy as returning the number of 
pages
freed in __release_pages and take that into account.
Hi,
I don't think this is a problem: release_pages should do del_page_from_lru,
which would take care of accounting, wouldn't it?

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
Oh no, you are right, del_page_from_lru() will do the accounting.

Sorry for the noise.
