6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chengming Zhou <chengming.zhou@xxxxxxxxx> commit 730cdc2c72c6905a2eda2fccbbf67dcef1206590 upstream. Patch series "mm/ksm: fix some accounting problems", v3. We encountered some abnormal ksm_pages_scanned and ksm_zero_pages during some random tests. 1. ksm_pages_scanned unchanged even ksmd scanning has progress. 2. ksm_zero_pages maybe -1 in some rare cases. This patch (of 2): During testing, I found ksm_pages_scanned is unchanged although the scan_get_next_rmap_item() did return valid rmap_item that is not NULL. The reason is the scan_get_next_rmap_item() will return NULL after a full scan, so ksm_do_scan() just return without accounting of the ksm_pages_scanned. Fix it by just putting ksm_pages_scanned accounting in that loop, and it will be accounted more timely if that loop would last for a long time.
