Subject: [v2 PATCH -mm] mm: account deferred split THPs into MemAvailable
Available memory is one of the most important metrics for memory
pressure. Currently, the deferred split THPs are not accounted into
available memory, but they are reclaimable actually, like reclaimable
slabs.
And, they seems very common with the common workloads when THP is
enabled. A simple run with MariaDB test of mmtest with THP enabled as
always shows it could generate over fifteen thousand deferred split THPs
(accumulated around 30G in one hour run, 75% of 40G memory for my VM).
It looks worth accounting in MemAvailable.
Record the number of freeable normal pages of deferred split THPs into
the second tail page, and account it into KReclaimable. Although THP
allocations are not exactly "kernel allocations", once they are unmapped,
they are in fact kernel-only. KReclaimable has been accounted into
MemAvailable.
When the deferred split THPs get split due to memory pressure or freed,
just decrease by the recorded number.
With this change when running program which populates 1G address space
then madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) 511 pages for every THP, /proc/meminfo would
show the deferred split THPs are accounted properly.
Populated by before calling madvise(MADV_DONTNEED):
MemAvailable: 43531960 kB
AnonPages: 1096660 kB
KReclaimable: 26156 kB
AnonHugePages: 1056768 kB
After calling madvise(MADV_DONTNEED):
MemAvailable: 44411164 kB
AnonPages: 50140 kB
KReclaimable: 1070640 kB
AnonHugePages: 10240 kB
