Add following new vmstat events which will help in validating THP migration
without split. Statistics reported through these new VM events will help in
performance debugging.
1. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS
2. THP_MIGRATION_FAILURE
3. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT
In addition, these new events also update normal page migration statistics
appropriately via PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS and PGMIGRATE_FAILURE. While here, this
updates current trace event 'mm_migrate_pages' to accommodate now available
THP statistics.
Patch looks straightforward enough. It would be nice to see some
confirmation from others that these metrics are a desirable thing to
export.
Taking a peek now.
...
- trace_mm_migrate_pages(nr_succeeded, nr_failed, mode, reason);
+ if (nr_thp_succeeded)
+ count_vm_events(THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS, nr_thp_succeeded);
+ if (nr_thp_failed)
+ count_vm_events(THP_MIGRATION_FAILURE, nr_thp_failed);
+ if (nr_thp_split)
+ count_vm_events(THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT, nr_thp_split);
Are these "if"s worthwhile to have?
No, they are not. And there are a couple more pre-existing cases as well,
right above what can be seen here (this patch just follows the local pattern)
that should also be removed.
