[Patch v4 3/8] memory-hotplug: fix NR_FREE_PAGES mismatch

From: Wen Congyang
Date: Wed Oct 31 2012 - 07:48:33 EST


NR_FREE_PAGES will be wrong after offlining pages. We add/dec
NR_FREE_PAGES like this now:

1. move 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.
