Subject: mm/vmscan: fix NR_ISOLATED_FILE corruption on 64-bit
From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 2da9f6305f306ffbbb44790675799328fb73119d upstream.
Previously the negated unsigned long would be cast back to signed long
which would have the correct negative value. After commit 730ec8c01a2b
("mm/vmscan.c: change prototype for shrink_page_list"), the large
unsigned int converts to a large positive signed long.
Symptoms include CMA allocations hanging forever holding the cma_mutex
due to alloc_contig_range->...->isolate_migratepages_block waiting
forever in "while (unlikely(too_many_isolated(pgdat)))".
[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: fix -stat.nr_lazyfree_fail as well, per Michal]
