[PATCH v3 2/2] mm/page_ref: add tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation
From: js1304
Date: Tue Feb 23 2016 - 02:21:42 EST
From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>
CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but,
unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down
the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and
we don't have any facility to analyze it.
This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation.
With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem.
Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is
stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will
print it as human readable string.)

This output shows that problem comes from exit path. In exit path,
to improve performance, pages are not freed immediately. They are gathered
and processed by batch. During this process, migration cannot be possible
and CMA allocation is failed. This problem is hard to find without this
page reference tracepoint facility.
Enabling this feature bloat kernel text 30 KB in my configuration.
text data bss dec hex filename
12127327 2243616 1507328 15878271 f2487f vmlinux_disabled
12157208 2258880 1507328 15923416 f2f8d8 vmlinux_enabled
Note that, due to header file dependency problem between mm.h and
tracepoint.h, this feature has to open code the static key functions
for tracepoints. Proposed by Steven Rostedt in following link.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/9/699
v3:
o Add commit description and code comment why this patch open code
the static key functions for tracepoints.
o Notify that example is stale version.
o Add "depends on TRACEPOINTS".
v2:
o Use static key of each tracepoints to avoid function call overhead
when tracepoints are disabled.
o Print human-readable page flag thanks to newly introduced %pgp option.
o Add more description to Kconfig.debug.
