[PATCH v3 12/14] mm, page_owner: track and print last migrate reason

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Fri Dec 18 2015 - 04:28:41 EST


During migration, page_owner info is now copied with the rest of the page, so
the stacktrace leading to free page allocation during migration is overwritten.
For debugging purposes, it might be however useful to know that the page has
been migrated since its initial allocation. This might happen many times during
the lifetime for different reasons and fully tracking this, especially with
stacktraces would incur extra memory costs. As a compromise, store and print
the migrate_reason of the last migration that occurred to the page. This is
enough to distinguish compaction, numa balancing etc.

Example page_owner entry after the patch:

Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x24213ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|GFP_COLD|GFP_NOWARN|GFP_NORETRY)
PFN 674308 type Movable Block 1317 type Movable Flags 0x1fffff80010068(uptodate|lru|active|mappedtodisk)
[<ffffffff81164e9a>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x15a/0xa30
[<ffffffff811ab938>] alloc_pages_current+0x88/0x120
[<ffffffff8115bc46>] __page_cache_alloc+0xe6/0x120
[<ffffffff81168b9b>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0xdb/0x200
[<ffffffff81168df5>] ondemand_readahead+0x135/0x260
[<ffffffff81168f8c>] page_cache_async_readahead+0x6c/0x70
[<ffffffff8115d5f8>] generic_file_read_iter+0x378/0x590
[<ffffffff811d12a7>] __vfs_read+0xa7/0xd0
Page has been migrated, last migrate reason: compaction
