[PATCH] vmscan: add a vmscan event for reclaim_pages

From: Jaewon Kim
Date: Wed Oct 09 2024 - 05:36:57 EST


The reclaim_folio_list uses a dummy reclaim_stat and is not being
used. To know the memory stat, add a new trace event. This is useful how
how many pages are not reclaimed or why.

This is an example.
mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages: nr_scanned=17 nr_reclaimed=17 nr_dirty=0 nr_writeback=0 nr_congested=0 nr_immediate=0 nr_activate_anon=0 nr_activate_file=0 nr_ref_keep=0 nr_unmap_fail=0

Currenlty reclaim_folio_list is only called by reclaim_pages, and
reclaim_pages is used by damon and madvise. In the latest Android,
reclaim_pages is also used by shmem to reclaim all pages in a
address_space.
