[PATCH v3 4/6] mm/vmscan: take all base pages of THP into account when race with speculative reference

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Mon Apr 25 2022 - 07:12:57 EST


If the page has buffers, shrink_page_list will try to free the buffer
mappings associated with the page and try to free the page as well.
In the rare race with speculative reference, the page will be freed
shortly by speculative reference. But nr_reclaimed is not incremented
correctly when we come across the THP. We need to account all the base
pages in this case.
