mm, slab: fix sign conversion problem in memcg_uncharge_slab()
It was found that running the LTP test on a PowerPC system could produce erroneous values in /proc/meminfo, like: MemTotal: 531915072 kB MemFree: 507962176 kB MemAvailable: 1100020596352 kB Using bisection, the problem is tracked down to commit9c315e4d7d
("mm: memcg/slab: cache page number in memcg_(un)charge_slab()"). In memcg_uncharge_slab() with a "int order" argument: unsigned int nr_pages = 1 << order; : mod_lruvec_state(lruvec, cache_vmstat_idx(s), -nr_pages); The mod_lruvec_state() function will eventually call the __mod_zone_page_state() which accepts a long argument. Depending on the compiler and how inlining is done, "-nr_pages" may be treated as a negative number or a very large positive number. Apparently, it was treated as a large positive number in that PowerPC system leading to incorrect stat counts. This problem hasn't been seen in x86-64 yet, perhaps the gcc compiler there has some slight difference in behavior. It is fixed by making nr_pages a signed value. For consistency, a similar change is applied to memcg_charge_slab() as well. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200620184719.10994-1-longman@redhat.com Fixes:9c315e4d7d
