    mm, compaction: fix NR_ISOLATED_* stats for pfn based migration · 5d7d362a

    commit 6afcf8ef upstream.
    
    Since commit bda807d4 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page
    migration") isolate_migratepages_block) can isolate !PageLRU pages which
    would acct_isolated account as NR_ISOLATED_*.  Accounting these non-lru
    pages NR_ISOLATED_{ANON,FILE} doesn't make any sense and it can misguide
    heuristics based on those counters such as pgdat_reclaimable_pages resp.
    too_many_isolated which would lead to unexpected stalls during the
    direct reclaim without any good reason.  Note that
    __alloc_contig_migrate_range can isolate a lot of pages at once.
    
    On mobile devices such as 512M ram android Phone, it may use a big zram
    swap.  In some cases zram(zsmalloc) uses too many non-lru but
    migratedable pages, such as:
    
          MemTotal: 468148 kB
          Normal free:5620kB
          Free swap:4736kB
          Total swap:409596kB
          ZRAM: 164616kB(zsmalloc non-lru pages)
          active_anon:60700kB
          inactive_anon:60744kB
          active_file:34420kB
          inactive_file:37532kB
    
    Fix this by only accounting lru pages to NR_ISOLATED_* in
    isolate_migratepages_block right after they were isolated and we still
    know they were on LRU.  Drop acct_isolated because it is called after
    the fact and we've lost that information.  Batching per-cpu counter
    doesn't make much improvement anyway.  Also make sure that we uncharge
    only LRU pages when putting them back on the LRU in
    putback_movable_pages resp.  when unmap_and_move migrates the page.
