Subject: [PATCH 065/145] mm/memory-hotplug: fix lowmem count overflow when offline pages

3.8.13.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wanpeng Li <liwanp@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit cea27eb2a202959783f81254c48c250ddd80e129 upstream.

The logic for the memory-remove code fails to correctly account the
Total High Memory when a memory block which contains High Memory is
offlined as shown in the example below.  The following patch fixes it.

Before logic memory remove:

MemTotal:        7603740 kB
MemFree:         6329612 kB
Buffers:           94352 kB

Inactive(anon):   222944 kB
Active(file):     446156 kB
Inactive(file):   296272 kB
Unevictable:           0 kB
Mlocked:               0 kB
HighTotal:       7294672 kB
HighFree:        5704696 kB
LowTotal:         309068 kB
LowFree:          624916 kB

After logic memory remove:

MemTotal:        7079452 kB
MemFree:         5805976 kB
Buffers:           94372 kB

Unevictable:           0 kB
Mlocked:               0 kB
HighTotal:       7294672 kB
HighFree:        5181024 kB
LowTotal:       4294752076 kB
LowFree:          624952 kB
