+ mm-mglru-add-tracepoint-for-aging.patch added to mm-new branch

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/mglru: add tracepoint for aging
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-mglru-add-tracepoint-for-aging.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-mglru-add-tracepoint-for-aging.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: mm/mglru: add tracepoint for aging
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2026 21:08:17 +0800

Aging in MGLRU advances max_seq to create a new youngest generation.
It is triggered from try_to_shrink_lruvec() when should_run_aging()
finds that eviction is no longer possible, or that it would be better
to age first at the current priority. There is currently no tracepoint
on this path, so it cannot be observed when and why aging is needed.

Add mm_mglru_aging, emitted in try_to_shrink_lruvec() right before
try_to_inc_max_seq(), with the node id, memcg id, sc->priority,
swappiness, max_seq, the anon and file min_seq, and the number of pages
in each generation for both types, as computed by lruvec_gen_size().

The reason for aging is not reported explicitly, as the logic in
should_run_aging() may change, e.g. for imbalance-based aging. It can
be derived from the generation window and the per-generation sizes,
which are taken before aging, so the youngest generation is populated
as well.

The nr_anon/nr_file arrays are ordered by seq rather than by generation
slot: entry i holds the generation max_seq - MAX_NR_GENS + 1 + i, i.e.
they go from the oldest generation to the newest, the same order as the
debugfs lru_gen file, so the output can be read directly without mapping
slots back to seqs. The arrays are printed with __print_array(), so the
output is hex and its length follows MAX_NR_GENS automatically.

Only the lruvec, sc and swappiness are passed in; everything else,
including max_seq, is read in TP_fast_assign(), so try_to_shrink_lruvec()
does no extra work when the event is disabled. Reading max_seq there
rather than using the caller's copy keeps the window consistent with
the per-generation sizes read right after it, should another reclaimer
age the lruvec in between.

The event marks the aging decision, not its result: the following
try_to_inc_max_seq() may find that aging is already in progress or
done by another reclaimer, so concurrent reclaimers can each emit it
for the same max_seq. Whether max_seq was advanced can be seen from the
following mm_mglru_scan_folios.
