Subject: mm,page_owner: update metadata for tail pages
Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2024 09:06:59 +0200
Patch series "page_owner: Fix refcount imbalance and print fixup", v4.
This series consists of a refactoring/correctness of updating the metadata
of tail pages, a couple of fixups for the refcounting part and a fixup for
the stack_start() function.
>From this series on, instead of counting the stacks, we count the
outstanding nr_base_pages each stack has, which gives us a much better
memory overview. The other fixup is for the migration part.
A more detailed explanation can be found in the changelog of the
respective patches.
This patch (of 4):
__set_page_owner_handle() and __reset_page_owner() update the metadata of
all pages when the page is of a higher-order, but we miss to do the same
when the pages are migrated. __folio_copy_owner() only updates the
metadata of the head page, meaning that the information stored in the
first page and the tail pages will not match.
Strictly speaking that is not a big problem because 1) we do not print
tail pages and 2) upon splitting all tail pages will inherit the metadata
of the head page, but it is better to have all metadata in check should
there be any problem, so it can ease debugging.
For that purpose, a couple of helpers are created
__update_page_owner_handle() which updates the metadata on allocation, and
__update_page_owner_free_handle() which does the same when the page is
freed.
__folio_copy_owner() will make use of both as it needs to entirely replace
the page_owner metadata for the new page.
