Subject[PATCH] mm: align up min_free_kbytes to multipy of 4
Date
Usually the value of min_free_kbytes is multiply of 4,
and in this case ,the right shift is ok.
But if it's not, the right-shifting operation will lose the low 2 bits,
and this cause kernel don't reserve enough memory.
So it's necessary to align the value of min_free_kbytes to multiply of 4.
For example, if min_free_kbytes is 64, then should keep 16 pages,
but if min_free_kbytes is 65 or 66, then should keep 17 pages.
