The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be accounted for on both zones and nodes because of the reclaim retry logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on per-zone stats. The retry logic is only critical for allocations that can use any zones. Hence this patch will not retry reclaim or compaction for such allocations. This should not be a problem for reclaim as zone-constrained allocations are immune from OOM kill. For retries, a very rough approximation is made whether to retry or not. While it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. The highmem calculations only care about the global count of file pages in highmem. Hence, a global counter is used instead of per-zone stats. With this, the per-zone double accounting disappears.
