From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: proc: meminfo: estimate available memory more conservatively
The MemAvailable item in /proc/meminfo is to give users a hint of how much
memory is allocatable without causing swapping, so it excludes the zones'
low watermarks as unavailable to userspace.
However, for a userspace allocation, kswapd will actually reclaim until
the free pages hit a combination of the high watermark and the page
allocator's lowmem protection that keeps a certain amount of DMA and DMA32
memory from userspace as well.
Subtract the full amount we know to be unavailable to userspace from the
number of free pages when calculating MemAvailable.
