Mel changed zone->pages_[high/low/min] with zone->watermark array.
So, setup_per_zone_pages_min also have to be changed.

Just to be clear, this is a function renaming to match the new zone
field name, not something I missed. As the function changes min, low and
max, a better name might have been setup_per_zone_watermarks but whether
you go with that name or not, this is better than what is there so;

At first, I thouht, too. But It's handle of min_free_kbytes.
Documentation said, it's to compute a watermark[WMARK_MIN].
I think many people already used that knob to contorl pages_min to keep the
low pages.
So, I determined function name is proper now.
If setup_per_zone_watermark is better than it, we also have to change with
documentation.

Which documentation?
I'm looking at the function comment and see
* setup_per_zone_pages_min - called when min_free_kbytes changes.
*
* Ensures that the pages_{min,low,high} values for each zone are set
* correctly with respect to min_free_kbytes.
So, the values of all the watermarks are updated by that function depending
on what the new value of min_free_kbytes is. It is a bit wrong I suppose as
it missed memory hot-add
setup_per_zone_pages_min - called when min_free_kbytes changes or when memory is hot-added

God!. I changed this function's comments with memory hot plug.
With my mistake, My patch 3/3 lost it.
I will add comment about memory hotplug.
Thanks for pointing me out. :)

That documentation states
====
This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number
of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min
value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets
a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size.
====
This is true. It just happens in the implementation that sets pages_min
(or it's renamed value) also sets the low and high watermarks are also set
based on the value of the minimum value. It doesn't need to be updated.

Okay.
I will modify function name with setup_per_zone_watermarks at next version.
Thanks for careful review, Mel.
