Adds a new per-node PageMetadata field to
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/meminfo
and a global PageMetadata field to /proc/meminfo. This information can
be used by users to see how much memory is being used by per-page
metadata, which can vary depending on build configuration, machine
architecture, and system use.
Per-page metadata is the amount of memory that Linux needs in order to
manage memory at the page granularity. The majority of such memory is
used by "struct page" and "page_ext" data structures. In contrast to
most other memory consumption statistics, per-page metadata might not
be included in MemTotal. For example, MemTotal does not include memblock
allocations but includes buddy allocations. While on the other hand,
per-page metadata would include both memblock and buddy allocations.
This memory depends on build configurations, machine architectures, and
the way system is used:
Build configuration may include extra fields into "struct page",
and enable / disable "page_ext"
Machine architecture defines base page sizes. For example 4K x86,
8K SPARC, 64K ARM64 (optionally), etc. The per-page metadata
overhead is smaller on machines with larger page sizes.
System use can change per-page overhead by using vmemmap
optimizations with hugetlb pages, and emulated pmem devdax pages.
Also, boot parameters can determine whether page_ext is needed
to be allocated. This memory can be part of MemTotal or be outside
MemTotal depending on whether the memory was hot-plugged, booted with,
or hugetlb memory was returned back to the system.
