Could you please also include commit descriptions, i.e.
commit cea27eb2a202959783f81254c48c250ddd80e129 ("mm/memory-hotplug: fix
lowmem count overflow when offline pages")?

Fixed to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing memory by commit
3dcc0571cd64816309765b7c7e4691a4cadf2ee7, so that commit occurs
duplicated decreasing of totalhigh_pages.
Could you please describe it a bit more (because it is non-obvious) how
the commit cea27eb effectively does the same totalhigh_pages adjustment
that is present in the commit 3dcc057?
Err, the other way around. How the commit 3dcc057 ("mm: correctly update
zone->managed_pages") does what cea27eb ("mm/memory-hotplug: fix lowmem
count overflow when offline pages") did.


OK, i updated to patch v2.

Thanks.
