[PATCH v2] mm/min_free_kbytes: modify min_free_kbytes calculation rules

From: liuq
Date: Wed Jun 21 2023 - 03:40:26 EST


The current calculation of min_free_kbytes only uses ZONE_DMA and
ZONE_NORMAL pages,but the ZONE_MOVABLE zone->_watermark[WMARK_MIN]
will also divide part of min_free_kbytes.This will cause the min
watermark of ZONE_NORMAL to be too small in the presence of ZONE_MOVEABLE.

__GFP_HIGH and PF_MEMALLOC allocations usually don't need moveable
zone pages, so just like ZONE_HIGHMEM, cap pages_min to a small
value in __setup_per_zone_wmarks.
