Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] memcg: avoid THP split in task migration
Currently we can't do task migration among memory cgroups without THP split,
which means processes heavily using THP experience large overhead in task
migration. This patch introduces the code for moving charge of THP and makes
THP more valuable.
Changes from v3:
- use enum mc_target_type and MC_TARGET_* explicitly
- replace lengthy name is_target_thp_for_mc() with get_mctgt_type_thp()
- drop cond_resched()
- drop mapcount check of page sharing (Hugh and KAMEZAWA-san are preparing
patches to change the behavior of moving charge of shared pages, so this
patch keeps up with the change to avoid potential conflict.)
Changes from v2:
- add move_anon() and mapcount check
Changes from v1:
- rename is_target_huge_pmd_for_mc() to is_target_thp_for_mc()
- remove pmd_present() check (it's buggy when pmd_trans_huge(pmd) is true)
- is_target_thp_for_mc() calls get_page() only when checks are passed
- unlock page table lock if !mc.precharge
- compare return value of is_target_thp_for_mc() explicitly to MC_TARGET_TYPE
- clean up &walk->mm->page_table_lock to &vma->vm_mm->page_table_lock
- add comment about why race with split_huge_page() does not happen
