Subject: [PATCH] mm: update the description for vm_total_pages
Date: Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:44:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53BB8553.10508@gmail.com> (raw)
vm_total_pages is calculated by nr_free_pagecache_pages(), which counts
the number of pages which are beyond the high watermark within all zones.
So vm_total_pages is not equal to total number of pages which the VM controls.
