[PATCH v4 0/4] mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed pages to atomic

[Arun KS]

This series convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages to atomic variables.

The patch was comiple tested on x86(x86_64_defconfig & i386_defconfig)
on 4.20-rc2. And memory hotplug tested on arm64, but on an older version
of kernel.

totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates
are protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care
about it. Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers
potentially seeing a store tear.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was
complicating things. It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785
It seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables
to atomic. With the change, preventing poteintial store-to-read
tearing comes as a bonus.

Changes in v4:
- Fixed kbuild test robot error.
- Modified changelog.
- Rebased to 4.20.-rc2

Changes in v3:
- Fixed kbuild test robot errors.
- Modified changelogs to be more clear.
- EXPORT_SYMBOL for _totalram_pages and _totalhigh_pages.

Arun KS (4):
  mm: reference totalram_pages and managed_pages once per function
  mm: convert zone->managed_pages to atomic variable
  mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic
  mm: Remove managed_page_count spinlock
