vm_total_pages and page-writeback.c:total_pages
Hello,
I was looking at page-writeback.c and found that there is a static variable "total_pages", which is same as the global variable "vm_total_pages" except that "total_pages" is not updated when new pages are brought in through memory hotplug.
Looking at the usage of "total_pages", it doesn't look intentional. Can somebody tell if it is the intentional or it a bug that needs to be fixed ?
Under the same context, "ratelimit_pages" in page-writeback.c is recalculated every time CPU is hot added/removed. But there is no recalculation happening when new memory pages are hot added. This also doesn't seem to be right. Comments ?
regards,
chandra
