[PATCH] mm: add ZONE_DEVICE statistics to smaps

[PATCH] mm: add ZONE_DEVICE statistics to smaps

[Dan Williams]

ZONE_DEVICE pages are mapped into a process via the filesystem-dax and
device-dax mechanisms.  There are also proposals to use ZONE_DEVICE
pages for other usages outside of dax.  Add statistics to smaps so
applications can debug that they are obtaining the mappings they expect,
or otherwise accounting them.

This might also help when we will have ZONE_DEVICE based solution for
HMM based device memory.

Christoph,

Wanted to get your opinion on this given your earlier concerns about
the VM_DAX flag.

This instead lets an application know how much of a vma is backed by
ZONE_DEVICE pages, but does not make any indications about the vma
having DAX semantics or not.  I.e. it is possible that 'device' and
'device_huge' are non-zero *and* vma_is_dax() is false.  So, it is
purely accounting the composition of the present pages in the vma.

Another option is to have something like 'shared_thp' just to account
for file backed huge pages that dax can map.  However if ZONE_DEVICE
is leaking into other use cases I think it makes sense to have it be a
first class-citizen with respect to accounting alongside
'anonymous_thp'.

This counter sounds fine to me, it's a debug tool and not an obvious
abuse candidate like VM_DAX.  But I'll defer to the VM folks for a real
review.

So, a couple of nits...

smaps is getting a bit big, and the fields that get added in this patch
are going to be pretty infrequently used.  Is it OK if smaps grows
forever, even if most of them items are "0 kB"?

IOW, Could we make it output Device* only for DAX VMAs?  All the parsers
have to handle that field being there or not (for old kernels).

The other thing missing for DAX is the page size.  DAX mappings support
mixed page sizes, so MMUPageSize in this context is pretty worthless.
What will we do in here for 1GB DAX pages?

How about just hiding the field if it is zero?  That way it's not an
backdoor way to leak vma_is_dax() which was Christoph's concern.

I was thinking that would be yet another field "DeviceGiganticPages?"
when we eventually add 1GB support (not there today).
