Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] mm: count the number of partially mapped anonymous THPs per size

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@...o.com>

When a THP is added to the deferred_list due to partially mapped,
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 a
THP 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
