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 <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reported-by: Eric Bergen <ebergen@meta.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Yang Shi <shy828301@gmail.com> Cc: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

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.
