Subject: [PATCH 1/2 -mm] mm: account lazy free pages separately
When doing partial unmap to THP, the pages in the affected range would
be considered to be reclaimable when memory pressure comes in. And,
such pages would be put on deferred split queue and get minus from the
memory statistics (i.e. /proc/meminfo).
For example, when doing THP split test, /proc/meminfo would show:
Before put on lazy free list:
MemTotal: 45288336 kB
MemFree: 43281376 kB
MemAvailable: 43254048 kB
...
Active(anon): 1096296 kB
Inactive(anon): 8372 kB
...
AnonPages: 1096264 kB
...
AnonHugePages: 1056768 kB
After put on lazy free list:
MemTotal: 45288336 kB
MemFree: 43282612 kB
MemAvailable: 43255284 kB
...
Active(anon): 1094228 kB
Inactive(anon): 8372 kB
...
AnonPages: 49668 kB
...
AnonHugePages: 10240 kB
The THPs confusingly look disappeared although they are still on LRU if
you are not familair the tricks done by kernel.
Accounted the lazy free pages to NR_LAZYFREE, and show them in meminfo
and other places. With the change the /proc/meminfo would look like:
Before put on lazy free list:
AnonHugePages: 1056768 kB
ShmemHugePages: 0 kB
ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB
LazyFreePages: 0 kB
After put on lazy free list:
AnonHugePages: 10240 kB
ShmemHugePages: 0 kB
ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB
LazyFreePages: 1046528 kB
And, this is also the preparation for the following patch to account
lazy free pages to available memory.
Here the lazyfree doesn't count MADV_FREE pages since they are not
actually unmapped until they get reclaimed. And, they are put on
inactive file LRU, so they have been accounted for available memory.

I'm not quite sure whether LazyFreePages is a good name or not since "Lazyfree"
is typically referred to MADV_FREE pages. I could use a more spceific name,
i.e. "DeferredSplitTHP" since it doesn't account MADV_FREE as explained in the
commit log. But, a more general name would be good for including other type
pages in the future.
And, I'm also not sure if it is a good idea to show this in memcg stat or not.
