[PATCH 2/2] mm/page_ref: add tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation

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

 



CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but,
unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down
the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and
we don't have any facility to analyze it.

This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation.
With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem.
Following is an example of tracepoint output.

<...>-9018  [004]    92.678375: page_ref_set:         pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x0 count=1 mapcount=0 mapping=(nil) mt=4 val=1

 => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff817560b6)

This output shows that problem comes from exit path. In exit path,
to improve performance, pages are not freed immediately. They are gathered
and processed by batch. During this process, migration cannot be possible
and CMA allocation is failed. This problem is hard to find without this
page reference tracepoint facility.

Enabling this feature bloat kernel text 20 KB in my configuration.
