[PATCH 1/4] mm/writeback: correct dirty page calculation for highmem

From: js1304
Date: Thu Mar 31 2016 - 22:10:24 EST


From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>

ZONE_MOVABLE could be treated as highmem so we need to consider it for
accurate calculation of dirty pages. And, in following patches, ZONE_CMA
will be introduced and it can be treated as highmem, too. So, instead of
manually adding stat of ZONE_MOVABLE, looping all zones and check whether
the zone is highmem or not and add stat of the zone which can be treated
as highmem.
