      mm: page_alloc: fix zone allocation fairness on UP · abe5f972
      Johannes Weiner authored
      The zone allocation batches can easily underflow due to higher-order
      allocations or spills to remote nodes.  On SMP that's fine, because
      underflows are expected from concurrency and dealt with by returning 0.
      But on UP, zone_page_state will just return a wrapped unsigned long,
      which will get past the <= 0 check and then consider the zone eligible
      until its watermarks are hit.
      
      Commit 3a025760 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before
      waking kswapd") already made the counter-resetting use
      atomic_long_read() to accomodate underflows from remote spills, but it
      didn't go all the way with it.
      
      Make it clear that these batches are expected to go negative regardless
      of concurrency, and use atomic_long_read() everywhere.
      
      Fixes: 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy")
