mm: memcg: add per-memcg zswap writeback stat

2025-11-24T09:30:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7108cc3f765cafd48a6a35f8add140beaecfa75b ] Since zswap now writes back pages from memcg-specific LRUs, we now need a new stat to show writebacks count for each memcg.

mm: vmscan: split khugepaged stats from direct reclaim stats

2022-11-30T23:58:41+00:00

Direct reclaim stats are useful for identifying a potential source for application latency, as well as spotting issues with kswapd. However, khugepaged currently distorts the picture: as a kernel thread it doesn't impose allocation latencies on userspace, and it explicitly opts out of kswapd reclaim. Its activity showing up in the direct reclaim stats is misleading. Counting it as kswapd reclaim could also cause confusion when trying to understand actual kswapd behavior. Break out khugepaged from the direct reclaim counters into new pgsteal_khugepaged, pgdemote_khugepaged, pgscan_khugepaged counters. Test with a huge executable (CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS): pgsteal_kswapd 1342185 pgsteal_direct 0 pgsteal_khugepaged 3623 pgscan_kswapd 1345025 pgscan_direct 0 pgscan_khugepaged 3623 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221026180133.377671-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner Reported-by: Eric Bergen Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Cc: Yang Shi Cc: Yosry Ahmed Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

mm: remove vmacache

2022-09-27T02:46:18+00:00

By using the maple tree and the maple tree state, the vmacache is no longer beneficial and is complicating the VMA code. Remove the vmacache to reduce the work in keeping it up to date and code complexity. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220906194824.2110408-26-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Liam R.

FOR_ALL_ZONES should be consistent with enum zone_type. Otherwise, __count_zid_vm_events have the potential to add count to wrong item when zid is ZONE_DEVICE.

mm: zswap: add basic meminfo and vmstat coverage

2022-05-19T21:08:53+00:00

Currently it requires poking at debugfs to figure out the size and population of the zswap cache on a host. There are no counters for reads and writes against the cache. As a result, it's difficult to understand zswap behavior on production systems. Print zswap memory consumption and how many pages are zswapped out in /proc/meminfo. Count zswapouts and zswapins in /proc/vmstat.

mm/vmstat: add events for ksm cow

2022-04-29T06:16:16+00:00

Users may use ksm by calling madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) when they want to save memory, it's a tradeoff by suffering delay on ksm cow. Users can get to know how much memory ksm saved by reading /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing, but they don't know what's the costs of ksm cow, and this is important of some delay sensitive tasks. So add ksm cow events to help users evaluate whether or how to use ksm. Also update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst with new added events.

mm/vmstat: add event for ksm swapping in copy

2022-03-22T22:57:09+00:00

When faults in from swap what used to be a KSM page and that page had been swapped in before, system has to make a copy, and leaves remerging the pages to a later pass of ksmd. That is not good for performace, we'd better to reduce this kind of copy. There are some ways to reduce it, for example lessen swappiness or madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) range. So add this event to support doing this tuning. Just like this patch: "mm, THP, swap: add THP swapping out fallback counting".

mm/vmstat: add events for THP max_ptes_* exceeds

2022-01-15T14:30:29+00:00

There are interfaces to adjust max_ptes_none, max_ptes_swap, max_ptes_shared values, see /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/. But system administrator may not know which value is the best. So Add those events to support adjusting max_ptes_* to suitable values. For example, if default max_ptes_swap value causes too much failures, and system uses zram whose IO is fast, administrator could increase max_ptes_swap until THP_SCAN_EXCEED_SWAP_PTE not increase anymore.
