Patch series "mm/ksm: fix some accounting problems", v3. We encountered some abnormal ksm_pages_scanned and ksm_zero_pages during some random tests. 1. ksm_pages_scanned unchanged even ksmd scanning has progress. 2. ksm_zero_pages maybe -1 in some rare cases. This patch (of 2): During testing, I found ksm_pages_scanned is unchanged although the scan_get_next_rmap_item() did return valid rmap_item that is not NULL. The reason is the scan_get_next_rmap_item() will return NULL after a full scan, so ksm_do_scan() just return without accounting of the ksm_pages_scanned. Fix it by just putting ksm_pages_scanned accounting in that loop, and it will be accounted more timely if that loop would last for a long time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
