Subject: [PATCH] mm/lruvec: trace LRU add drains and drain-all queuing
Date: Mon,  8 Jun 2026 21:11:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609041156.31127-1-jp.kobryn@linux.dev> (raw)

LRU add batches can be drained before they reach capacity. This can be a
source of LRU lock contention, but it is not currently possible to
attribute these drains to callers with existing tracepoints.

Add mm_lru_add_drain to report the CPU and lru_add batch count when an
lru_add batch is drained. This allows tracing to distinguish full drains
from partial drains and attribute them to the calling stack.

Add mm_lru_drain_all_queue to report when lru_add_drain_all() queues
per-CPU drain work. This captures the requester stack and target CPU for
remote drain work. The event is named as a drain-all queue event because
the queued work can be needed for batches other than lru_add.
