Patch series "improvements about lowmem_reserve and /proc/zoneinfo", v2.
This patch (of 3):
When people write to /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio to change
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[], setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() is called
to recalculate all ->lowmem_reserve[] for each zone of all nodes as below:
static void setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve(void)
{
...
for_each_online_pgdat(pgdat) {
for (j = 0; j < MAX_NR_ZONES; j++) {
...
while (idx) {
...
if (sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] < 1) {
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] = 0;
lower_zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = 0;
} else {
...
}
}
}
}
Meanwhile, here, sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] will be tuned if its
value is smaller than '1'. As we know, sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[] is
set for zone without regarding to which node it belongs to. That means
the tuning will be done on all nodes, even though it has been done in the
first node.
And the tuning will be done too even when init_per_zone_wmark_min() calls
setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve(), where actually nobody tries to change
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[].
So now move the tuning into lowmem_reserve_ratio_sysctl_handler(), to make
code logic more reasonable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
