From: Ma Wupeng <mawupeng1@xxxxxxxxxx> Since min_free_kbytes is based on gfp_zone(GFP_USER) which does not include zone movable. However zone movable will get its min share in __setup_per_zone_wmarks() which does not make any sense. And like highmem pages, __GFP_HIGH and PF_MEMALLOC allocations usually don't need movable pages, so there is no need to assign min pages for zone movable. Let's cap pages_min for zone movable to a small value here just link highmem pages.
