Subject: [PATCH] fix vmscan-change-the-number-of-the-unmapped-files-in-zone-reclaim.patch


+ nr_unmapped_file_pages = zone_page_state(zone, NR_INACTIVE_FILE) +
+ zone_page_state(zone, NR_ACTIVE_FILE) -
+ zone_page_state(zone, NR_FILE_MAPPED);

is wrong. it can be underflow because tmpfs pages are not counted NR_*_FILE,
but they are counted NR_FILE_MAPPED.

fixing here.
