[PATCH] vmscan: add a vmscan event for reclaim_pages
Posted by Jaewon Kim 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The reclaim_folio_list uses a dummy reclaim_stat and is not being
used. To know the memory stat, add a new trace event. This is useful how
how many pages are not reclaimed or why.

This is an example.
mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages: nr_scanned=17 nr_reclaimed=17 nr_dirty=0 nr_writeback=0 nr_congested=0 nr_immediate=0 nr_activate_anon=0 nr_activate_file=0 nr_ref_keep=0 nr_unmap_fail=0

Currenlty reclaim_folio_list is only called by reclaim_pages, and
reclaim_pages is used by damon and madvise. In the latest Android,
reclaim_pages is also used by shmem to reclaim all pages in a
address_space.

Could we avoid this by using a single stat that just accumulates over
multiple calls to reclaim_folio_list()?

That means shrink_folio_list() would not do the initial memset(0) and it
would be caller responsibility.

AFAICS shrink_folio_list() only cares about these fields:

pgactivate = stat->nr_activate[0] + stat->nr_activate[1];

in order to do

count_vm_events(PGACTIVATE, pgactivate);

Which could be adjusted to deal with accumulating stat - i.e. take an
initial sum of the fields in stat and subtract from the final sum to get
the delta.

Hi

Thank you for your coment. Yes if it is allowed, I can do that way. When
I checked, the following functions should do the memset().

reclaim_clean_pages_from_list
shrink_inactive_list
reclaim_folio_list
evict_folios      

Actually I was planning to move trace_mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages into
reclaim_folio_list so that we don't have to sum up and we may be able
to print node number, too. As we will see log for each node, if we'd
like to know the sum, that would be the post parser's job.

Option 1. No change on memset, but print on each node.
mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages: nid=0 nr_scanned=112 nr_reclaimed=112 nr_dirty=0 nr_writeback=0 nr_congested=0 nr_immediate=0 nr_activate_anon=0 nr_activate_file=0 nr_ref_keep=0 nr_unmap_fail=0
mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages: nid=1 ...
mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages: nid=2 ...

Option 2. Change on memset, but we don't care the stat from each node.
mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages: nr_scanned=35 nr_reclaimed=35 nr_dirty=0 nr_writeback=0 nr_congested=0 nr_immediate=0 nr_activate_anon=0 nr_activate_file=0 nr_ref_keep=0 nr_unmap_fail=0

Would you give me you preference between the two options?
                                                        
Thank you

I see. Note it processes a list that might be from multiple nodes and
will group consecutive pages from the same node, but if pages come from
random nodes, the nodes will repeat and there might be many trace
events, each for few pages only.

Guess it depends on the workload if it has its pages from the same node.
Maybe you can try and see how noisy it is in practice?

Hi

Actually my Android test device has only one node, so I cannot test several
nodes cases. But it shows quite many of mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages log when I do
the Android shmem based call to reclaim_pages. I have to do the post parsing
or make a fancy ftrace hist command.

I think madvise and damon, which are the other caller to reclaim_pages, are not
interested in showing trace log for each node.

I'm just worried changing policy, memset(0) is the caller responsibility,
could be error-prone if we forget someday. So if possible, let me take the
option 1.

To show a clean code, let me submit the v2 patch.
Thank you.
