From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/munlock: add lru_add_drain() to fix memcg_stat_test Mike reports that LTP memcg_stat_test usually leads to... memcg_stat_test 3 TINFO: Test unevictable with MAP_LOCKED memcg_stat_test 3 TINFO: Running memcg_process --mmap-lock1 -s 135168 memcg_stat_test 3 TINFO: Warming up pid: 3460 memcg_stat_test 3 TINFO: Process is still here after warm up: 3460 memcg_stat_test 3 TFAIL: unevictable is 122880, 135168 expected ...but may lead to... memcg_stat_test 4 TINFO: Test unevictable with mlock memcg_stat_test 4 TINFO: Running memcg_process --mmap-lock2 -s 135168 memcg_stat_test 4 TINFO: Warming up pid: 4271 memcg_stat_test 4 TINFO: Process is still here after warm up: 4271 memcg_stat_test 4 TFAIL: unevictable is 122880, 135168 expected ...or both. A wee bit flaky. follow_page_pte() used to have an lru_add_drain() per each page mlocked, and the test came to rely on accurate stats. The pagevec to be drained is different now, but still covered by lru_add_drain(); and, never mind the test, I believe it's in everyone's interest that a bulk faulting interface like populate_vma_page_range() or faultin_vma_page_range() should drain its local pagevecs at the end, to save others sometimes needing the much more expensive lru_add_drain_all(). This does not absolutely guarantee exact stats - the mlocking task can be migrated between CPUs as it proceeds - but it's good enough and the tests pass.
