Subject: mm, compaction: fix NR_ISOLATED_* stats for pfn based migration
Since bda807d44454 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration")
isolate_migratepages_block) can isolate !PageLRU pages which would
acct_isolated account as NR_ISOLATED_*. Accounting these non-lru pages
NR_ISOLATED_{ANON,FILE} doesn't make any sense and it can misguide
heuristics based on those counters such as pgdat_reclaimable_pages resp.
too_many_isolated which would lead to unexpected stalls during the direct
reclaim without any good reason. Note that __alloc_contig_migrate_range
can isolate a lot of pages at once.
On mobile devices such as 512M ram android Phone, it may use a big zram
swap. In some cases zram(zsmalloc) uses too many non-lru but migratedable
pages, such as:
MemTotal: 468148 kB
Normal free:5620kB
Free swap:4736kB
Total swap:409596kB
ZRAM: 164616kB(zsmalloc non-lru pages)
active_anon:60700kB
inactive_anon:60744kB
active_file:34420kB
inactive_file:37532kB
Fix this by only accounting lru pages to NR_ISOLATED_* in
isolate_migratepages_block right after they were isolated and we still
know they were on LRU. Drop acct_isolated because it is called after the
fact and we've lost that information. Batching per-cpu counter doesn't
make much improvement anyway. Also make sure that we uncharge only LRU
pages when putting them back on the LRU in putback_movable_pages resp.
when unmap_and_move migrates the page.
