[PATCH V2 7/7] mm: add a separate RSS for MADV_FREE pages

From: Shaohua Li
Date: Fri Feb 03 2017 - 18:34:42 EST

Add a separate RSS for MADV_FREE pages. The pages are charged into
MM_ANONPAGES (because they are mapped anon pages) and also charged into
the MM_LAZYFREEPAGES. /proc/pid/statm will have an extra field to
display the RSS, which userspace can use to determine the RSS excluding
MADV_FREE pages.

The basic idea is to increment the RSS in madvise and decrement in unmap
or page reclaim. There is one limitation. If a page is shared by two
processes, since madvise only has mm cotext of current process, it isn't
convenient to charge the RSS for both processes. So we don't charge the
RSS if the mapcount isn't 1. On the other hand, fork can make a
MADV_FREE page shared by two processes. To make things consistent, we
uncharge the RSS from the source mm in fork.

A new flag is added to indicate if a page is accounted into the RSS. We
can't use SwapBacked flag to do the determination because we can't
guarantee the page has SwapBacked flag cleared in madvise. We are
reusing mappedtodisk flag which should not be set for Anon pages.

There are a couple of other places we need to uncharge the RSS,
activate_page and mark_page_accessed. activate_page is used by swap,
where MADV_FREE pages are already not in lazyfree state before going
into swap. mark_page_accessed is mainly used for file pages, but there
are several places it's used by anonymous pages. I fixed gup, but not
some gpu drivers and kvm. If the drivers use MADV_FREE, we might have
inprecise RSS accounting.

Please note, the accounting is never going to be precise. MADV_FREE page
could be written by userspace without notification to the kernel. The
page can't be reclaimed like other clean lazyfree pages. The page isn't
real lazyfree page. But since kernel isn't aware of this, the page is
still accounted as lazyfree, thus the accounting could be incorrect.
