Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 34/54] mm: vmscan: reclaim highmem zone if buffer_heads is over limit

3.19.8-ckt21 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org>

commit 7bf52fb891b64b8d61caf0b82060adb9db761aec upstream.

We have been reclaimed highmem zone if buffer_heads is over limit but
commit 6b4f7799c6a5 ("mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from
shrink_zone()") changed the behavior so it doesn't reclaim highmem zone
although buffer_heads is over the limit.  This patch restores the logic.

Fixes: 6b4f7799c6a5 ("mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone()")
