This may cause inconsistency between some counters, for example, MM_ANONPAGES may be much bigger than anon LRU. MM_ANONPAGES should not be inc'ed unless a new page is allocated and installed, right? > > Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx > Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@xxxxxxx> > --- > Should it update MM_SHMEM_PAGES instead ?
