[PATCH] CMA: Fix CMA's page number is substructed twice in __zone_watermark_ok

From: Hui Zhu
Date: Tue Dec 30 2014 - 05:18:03 EST


The original of this patch [1] is used to fix the issue in Joonsoo's CMA patch
"CMA: always treat free cma pages as non-free on watermark checking" [2].

Joonsoo reminded me that this issue affect current kernel too. So made a new
one for upstream.

Function __zone_watermark_ok substruct CMA pages number from free_pages
if system allocation can't use CMA areas:
/* If allocation can't use CMA areas don't use free CMA pages */
if (!(alloc_flags & ALLOC_CMA))
free_cma = zone_page_state(z, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES);

But after this part of code
for (o = 0; o < order; o++) {
/* At the next order, this order's pages become unavailable */
free_pages -= z->free_area[o].nr_free << o;
CMA memory in each order is part of z->free_area[o].nr_free, then the CMA
page number of this order is substructed twice. This bug will make
__zone_watermark_ok return more false.

This patch add cma_free_area to struct free_area that just record the number
of CMA pages. And add it back in the order loop to handle the substruct
twice issue.
