[PATCH v3 0/2] mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters

From: Lance Yang
Date: Wed Jul 03 2024 - 21:29:41 EST


Hi all,

At present, the split counters in THP statistics no longer include
PTE-mapped mTHP. Therefore, we want to introduce per-order mTHP split
counters to monitor the frequency of mTHP splits. This will assist
developers in better analyzing and optimizing system performance.

split
split_failed
split_deferred
