[PATCH] total_free_shortage() using zone_free_shortage() (fwd)

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Linus, 

Could you please apply this patch ? 

Without it total_free_shortage() will use zone->pages_min to calculcate
the sum of the shortages, while zone_free_shortage() is correctly using
zone->pages_high: Boom.

Subject: [PATCH] total_free_shortage() using zone_free_shortage()


Linus, 

The following patch changes total_free_shortage() to use
zone_free_shortage() to calculate the sum of perzone free shortages.

This way we isolate the calculation variables in zone_free_shortage(). 

Against 2.4.8-pre4. Please apply.
