mm: thp: add split tail pages to shrink page list in page reclaim
In page reclaim, huge page is split. split_huge_page() adds tail pages
to LRU list. Since we are reclaiming a huge page, it's better we
reclaim all subpages of the huge page instead of just the head page.
This patch adds split tail pages to shrink page list so the tail pages
can be reclaimed soon.
Before this patch, run a swap workload:
thp_fault_alloc 3492
thp_fault_fallback 608
thp_collapse_alloc 6
thp_collapse_alloc_failed 0
thp_split 916
With this patch:
thp_fault_alloc 4085
thp_fault_fallback 16
thp_collapse_alloc 90
thp_collapse_alloc_failed 0
thp_split 1272
fallback allocation is reduced a lot.
