Subject: kernel/fork.c: get totalram_pages from memblock to calculate max_threads
Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2024 01:34:09 +0000
Since we plan to move the accounting into __free_pages_core(),
totalram_pages may not represent the total usable pages on system at this
point when defer_init is enabled.
Instead we can get the total usable pages from memblock directly.
