From: Yafang Shao laoar.shao@gmail.com Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2019 15:36:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/compaction.c: clear total_{migrate,free}_scanned before scanning a new zone

total_{migrate,free}_scanned will be added to COMPACTMIGRATE_SCANNED and COMPACTFREE_SCANNED in compact_zone(). We should clear them before scanning a new zone. In the proc triggered compaction, we forgot clearing them.
