Subject: mm/memory-hotplug: fix lowmem count overflow when offline pages
From: Wanpeng Li <liwanp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit cea27eb2a202959783f81254c48c250ddd80e129 upstream.
The logic for the memory-remove code fails to correctly account the
Total High Memory when a memory block which contains High Memory is
offlined as shown in the example below. The following patch fixes it.
Before logic memory remove:
MemTotal: 7603740 kB
MemFree: 6329612 kB
Buffers: 94352 kB
Cached: 872008 kB
SwapCached: 0 kB
Active: 626932 kB
Inactive: 519216 kB
Active(anon): 180776 kB
Inactive(anon): 222944 kB
Active(file): 446156 kB
Inactive(file): 296272 kB
Unevictable: 0 kB
Mlocked: 0 kB
HighTotal: 7294672 kB
HighFree: 5704696 kB
LowTotal: 309068 kB
LowFree: 624916 kB
After logic memory remove:
MemTotal: 7079452 kB
MemFree: 5805976 kB
Buffers: 94372 kB
Cached: 872000 kB
SwapCached: 0 kB
Active: 626936 kB
Inactive: 519236 kB
Active(anon): 180780 kB
Inactive(anon): 222944 kB
Active(file): 446156 kB
Inactive(file): 296292 kB
Unevictable: 0 kB
Mlocked: 0 kB
HighTotal: 7294672 kB
HighFree: 5181024 kB
LowTotal: 4294752076 kB
LowFree: 624952 kB
