[PATCH 1/2] mm/vmscan: Accumulate nr_demoted for accurate demotion statistics

From: Li Zhijian
Date: Fri Jan 10 2025 - 07:22:04 EST


In the shrink_folio_list() function, demote_folio_list() can be called
multiple times, which can lead to inaccurate demotion statistics if the
number of demoted pages is not accumulated correctly.

Accumulate the nr_demoted count across multiple calls to
demote_folio_list(), ensuring accurate reporting of demotion statistics.

Fixes: f77f0c751478 ("mm,memcg: provide per-cgroup counters for NUMA balancing operations")
