And it has been reverted by commit 5576646 revert "mm: fix-up zone present pages" This is a following-up patchset for the issue above. It introduces a new field named "managed_pages" to struct zone, which counts pages managed by the buddy system from the zone. And zone->present_pages is used to count pages existing in the zone, which is spanned_pages - absent_pages. But that way, zone->present_pages will be kept in consistence with pgdat->node_present_pages, which is sum of zone->present_pages. This patchset has only been tested on x86_64 with nobootmem.c. So need help to test this patchset on machines: 1) use bootmem.c 2) have highmem This patchset applies to "f4a75d2e Linux 3.7-rc6" from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git Any comments and helps are welcomed! Jiang Liu (5): mm: introduce new field "managed_pages" to struct zone mm: replace zone->present_pages with zone->managed_pages if appreciated mm: set zone->present_pages to number of existing pages in the zone mm: provide more accurate estimation of pages occupied by memmap mm: increase totalram_pages when free pages allocated by bootmem allocator include/linux/mmzone.h | 1 + mm/bootmem.c | 14 ++++++++ mm/memory_hotplug.c | 6 ++++ mm/mempolicy.c | 2 +- mm/nobootmem.c | 15 ++++++++ mm/page_alloc.c | 89 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- mm/vmscan.c | 16 ++++----- mm/vmstat.c | 8 +++-- 8 files changed, 108 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
