[PATCH v2 4/5] mm: use node_page_state_snapshot to avoid deviation

From: Kemi Wang
Date: Tue Dec 19 2017 - 01:42:15 EST


To avoid deviation, this patch uses node_page_state_snapshot instead of
node_page_state for node page stats query.
e.g. cat /proc/zoneinfo
cat /sys/devices/system/node/node*/vmstat
cat /sys/devices/system/node/node*/numastat

As it is a slow path and would not be read frequently, I would worry about
it.
