[PATCH 01/20] mm: serialize access to min_free_kbytes

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: setup_per_zone_pages_min.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1933 bytes --]

There is a small race between the procfs caller and the memory hotplug caller
of setup_per_zone_pages_min(). Not a big deal, but the next patch will add yet
another caller. Time to close the gap.
