[zhongjiang]

This reverts commit e1587a4945408faa58d0485002c110eb2454740c.

THP lru page is reclaimed , THP is split to normal page and loop again.
reclaimed pages should not be bigger than nr_scan.  because of each
loop will increase nr_scan counter.

Unfortunately, there is still underflow issue caused by slab pages as
Vinayak reported in description of e1587a4945408 so we cannot revert.
Please correct comment instead of removing the logic.

Thanks.

  we calculate the vmpressue based on the Lru page, exclude the slab pages by previous
  discussion.    is it not this?

 Hi  Minchan and vinayak

 we should revert the patch (mm: vmpressure: fix sending wrong events on underflow), then
 apply the mmotm's related patch. or drop the mmotm's related patch, then corrent the comment.

 which one make more sense.  Maybe the latter is more feasible. Suggestion ?
