Because the fallback zonelists contain all nodes in the system, and we walk all the zonelists, we're counting memory multiple times (once for each node). This caused us to make a size estimate of 32GB for an 8GB AMD64 box, which makes all the dirty ratio calculations, etc incorrect. There's still a further bug to fix from e820 holes causing overestimation as well, but this fix is separate, and good as is, and fixes one class of problems. Problem found by Badari, and tested by Ram Pai - thanks! Signed-off-by: Martin J.
