Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm: collect the number of anon large folios on split_deferred list
From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@...o.com>
When an mTHP is added to the deferred_list, its partial pages
are unused, leading to wasted memory and potentially increasing
memory reclamation pressure.
Detailing the specifics of how unmapping occurs is quite difficult
and not that useful, so we adopt a simple approach: each time an
mTHP enters the deferred_list, we increment the count by 1; whenever
it leaves for any reason, we decrement the count by 1.

As the system ages, allocating huge pages may be expensive as the
system uses memory compaction to copy data around memory to free a
huge page for use. There are some counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` to help
