Currently we use struct per_cpu_nodestat to cache the vmstat
counters, which leads to inaccurate statistics expecially THP
vmstat counters. In the systems with hundreads of processors
it can be GBs of memory. For example, for a 96 CPUs system,
the threshold is the maximum number of 125. And the per cpu
counters can cache 23.4375 GB in total.
The THP page is already a form of batched addition (it will
add 512 worth of memory in one go) so skipping the batching
seems like sensible. Although every THP stats update overflows
the per-cpu counter, resorting to atomic global updates. But
it can make the statistics more accuracy for the THP vmstat
counters.
So we convert the NR_FILE_PMDMAPPED account to pages. This
patch is consistent with 8f182270dfec ("mm/swap.c: flush lru
pvecs on compound page arrival"). Doing this also can make the
unit of vmstat counters more unified. Finally, the unit of the
vmstat counters are pages, kB and bytes. The B/KB suffix can
tell us that the unit is bytes or kB. The rest which is without
suffix are pages.
