percpu_counter_sum_positive() will provide more accurate info. As with percpu_counter_read_positive(), in worst case the deviation could be 'batch * nr_cpus', which is totalram_pages/256 for now, and will be more when the batch gets enlarged. Its time cost is about 800 nanoseconds on a 2C/4T platform and 2~3 microseconds on a 2S/36C/72T Skylake server in normal case, and in worst case where vm_committed_as's spinlock is under severe contention, it costs 30~40 microseconds for the 2S/36C/72T Skylake sever, which should be fine for its only two users: /proc/meminfo and HyperV balloon driver's status trace per second.

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 Restructured Text 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.
