[PATCH V4] mm/vmstat: Add events for THP migration without split

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add following new vmstat events which will help in validating THP migration
without split. Statistics reported through these new VM events will help in
performance debugging.

1. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS
2. THP_MIGRATION_FAIL
3. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT

In addition, these new events also update normal page migration statistics
appropriately via PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS and PGMIGRATE_FAIL. While here, this
updates current trace event 'mm_migrate_pages' to accommodate now available
THP statistics.

Applies on 5.8-rc4.

Changes in V4:

- Changed THP_MIGRATION_FAILURE as THP_MIGRATION_FAIL per John
- Dropped all conditional 'if' blocks in migrate_pages() per Andrew and John

- Updated Cc list with Documentation/ and tracing related addresses

Changes in V3: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11647237/)

- Formatted new events documentation with 'fmt' tool per Matthew
- Made events universally available i.e dropped ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION
- Added THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT

- Made THP events update normal page migration events as well

Changes in V2: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11586893/)

- Dropped PMD reference both from code and commit message per Matthew
- Added documentation and updated the commit message per Daniel

Changes in V1: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11564497/)

Changes in RFC V2: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11554861/)

- Decopupled and renamed VM events from their implementation per Zi and John
- Added THP_PMD_MIGRATION_FAILURE VM event upon allocation failure and split

Changes in RFC V1: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11542055/)

+Monitoring Migration
+=====================
+
+The following events (counters) can be used to monitor page migration.
+
+1. PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS: Normal page migration success. Each count means that a
+   page was migrated. If the page was a non-THP page, then this counter is
+   increased by one. If the page was a THP, then this counter is increased by
+   the number of THP subpages. For example, migration of a single 2MB THP that
+   has 4KB-size base pages (subpages) will cause this counter to increase by
+   512.
+
+2. PGMIGRATE_FAIL: Normal page migration failure. Same counting rules as for
+   _SUCCESS, above: this will be increased by the number of subpages, if it was
+   a THP.
+
+3. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS: A THP was migrated without being split.
+
+4. THP_MIGRATION_FAIL: A THP could not be migrated nor it could be split.
+
+5. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT: A THP was migrated, but not as such: first, the THP had
+   to be split. After splitting, a migration retry was used for it's sub-pages.
+
+THP_MIGRATION_* events also update the appropriate PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS or
+PGMIGRATE_FAIL events. For example, a THP migration failure will cause both
+THP_MIGRATION_FAIL and PGMIGRATE_FAIL to increase.
