[PATCH] remove static variable mm/page-writeback.c:total_pages
page-writeback.c has a static local variable "total_pages", which is the total number of pages in the system. There is a global variable "vm_total_pages", which is the total number of pages the VM controls. Both are assigned from the return value of nr_free_pagecache_pages(). This patch removes the local variable and uses the global variable in that place. One more issue with the local static variable "total_pages" is that it is not updated when new pages are hot-added. Since vm_total_pages is updated when new pages are hot-added, this patch fixes that problem too.
