[PATCH v2 4/5] memory-hotplug: fix NR_FREE_PAGES mismatch

From: <hidden>
Date: 2012-10-17 12:03:24
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

From: Wen Congyang <redacted>

NR_FREE_PAGES will be wrong after offlining pages. We add/dec NR_FREE_PAGES
like this now:
1. mova all pages in buddy system to MIGRATE_ISOLATE, and dec NR_FREE_PAGES
2. don't add NR_FREE_PAGES when it is freed and the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE
3. dec NR_FREE_PAGES when offlining isolated pages.
4. add NR_FREE_PAGES when undoing isolate pages.

When we come to step 3, all pages are in MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, and NR_FREE_PAGES
are right. When we come to step4, all pages are not in buddy system, so we don't
change NR_FREE_PAGES in this step, but we change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. So
NR_FREE_PAGES is wrong after offlining pages. So there is no need to change
NR_FREE_PAGES in step3.

This patch also fixs a problem in step2: if the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE,
we should not add NR_FRR_PAGES when we remove pages from pcppages.
