From d0480be44a90af81a425f426c9107fb8f0899f65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Sheng-Hui Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:07:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: update the description for vm_total_pages vm_total_pages is calculated by nr_free_pagecache_pages(), which counts the number of pages which are beyond the high watermark within all zones. So vm_total_pages is not equal to total number of pages which the VM controls.
