Commit Message

When memory is hotplug added or removed the min_free_kbytes must be
recalculated based on what is expected by khugepaged.  Currently
after hotplug, min_free_kbytes will be set to a lower default and higher
default set when THP enabled is lost.  This change restores min_free_kbytes
as expected for THP consumers.

Fixes: f000565adb77 ("thp: set recommended min free kbytes")

He is?  I can't immediately find that email.

Do we have an acked-by?

I am ok with this patch. I am not sure this is worth backporting to
stable trees becasuse this is not a functional bug. Surprising behavior,
yes, but not much more than that.

Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

Can we move khugepaged_min_free_kbytes_update into
init_per_zone_wmark_min? If it stays external we might hit the same
problem when somebody else needs to modify min_free_kbytes. Early init
call will be likely too early for khugepaged but that shouldn't matter
AFAICS because it will call khugepaged_min_free_kbytes_update on its
own.

Sure, let me take a look and post v4 next week.
