Hi all,
I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management,
it should be:
zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages,
but now:
zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages.
spanned pagesïtotal size, including holes.
absent pages: holes.
bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator.
memmap pages: pages used by page structs.

This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be.
For example, numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE,
it's memmap and other bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE,
so ZONE_NORMAL's present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages,
but now it also minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated
from ZONE_MOVABLE. When offline all memory of a zone, This will cause zone->present_pages
less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long type, it is actually
a very large integer, it indirectly caused zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN]
become a large integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages
become a large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory
allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()).

[root@localhost ~]# dmesg
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory

I think bug described in http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2 is also
caused by wrong zone present pages.

This patch intends to fix-up zone->present_pages when memory are freed to
buddy system in x86_64 and IA64 platform.

Thanks.
