[PATCH 04/13] mm: Track NR_KERNEL_STACK in pages instead of number of stacks

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
Date: 2016-06-16 00:28:48
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: exec & binfmt api, elf, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), memory management, memory management - core, memory management - page allocator, proc filesystem, scheduler, the rest · Maintainers: Kees Cook, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Vlastimil Babka, Ingo Molnar, Peter Zijlstra, Juri Lelli, Vincent Guittot, Linus Torvalds

Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a
zone.  This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in
one zone, and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption.

It turns out that the code for tracking kernel stack allocations in
units of pages is slightly simpler, so just switch to counting
pages.
