[PATCH] mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo

[PATCH] mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo

[kaiyang2]

From: Kaiyang Zhao <kaiyang2@cs.cmu.edu>

Printing the promo watermark in zoneinfo just like other watermarks.
This helps users check and verify all the watermarks are appropriate.

Maybe.  I'll let others opine about the desirability of this.

But you made me look at include/linux/mmzone.h

#define min_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] + z->watermark_boost)
#define low_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_LOW] + z->watermark_boost)
#define high_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_HIGH] + z->watermark_boost)
#define wmark_pages(z, i) (z->_watermark[i] + z->watermark_boost)

a) how dumb is it that we open-code wmark_pages() three times and
   then define it!

b) For symmetry at least, I guess your patch should add and use
   promo_wmark_pages().

c) all the above could (and hence should) be static inline C functions.
