vmscan: protect reading of reclaim_stat with lru_lock
Rik van Riel pointed out reading reclaim_stat should be protected lru_lock, otherwise vmscan might sweep 2x much pages. This fault was introduced by commit 4f98a2fee8acdb4ac84545df98cccecfd130f8db Author: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Date: Sat Oct 18 20:26:32 2008 -0700 vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
