Hi Christian Brauner:

Could we change the changelog as below, it maybe more reasonable

    fs: Use percpu_counter_sum_positive in proc_nr_files

    The centralized value of percpu counter can be really grossly inaccurate
    as CPU count increases. and proc_nr_files is only accessed when reading
    proc file, not a hot path, so use percpu_counter_sum_positive in it, to make
    /proc/sys/fs/file-nr more accurate

thanks
