mm/vmstat: add events for THP migration without split
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.

Monitoring Migration
=====================

The following events (counters) can be used to monitor page migration.

1. PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS: Normal page migration success. Each count means that a
page was migrated. If the page was a non-THP page, then this counter is
increased by one. If the page was a THP, then this counter is increased by
the number of THP subpages. For example, migration of a single 2MB THP that
has 4KB-size base pages (subpages) will cause this counter to increase by
512.

2. PGMIGRATE_FAIL: Normal page migration failure. Same counting rules as for
_SUCCESS, above: this will be increased by the number of subpages, if it was
a THP.

3. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS: A THP was migrated without being split.

4. THP_MIGRATION_FAIL: A THP could not be migrated nor it could be split.

5. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT: A THP was migrated, but not as such: first, the THP had
to be split. After splitting, a migration retry was used for it's sub-pages.

THP_MIGRATION_* events also update the appropriate PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS or
PGMIGRATE_FAIL events. For example, a THP migration failure will cause both
THP_MIGRATION_FAIL and PGMIGRATE_FAIL to increase.
