Subject: [PATCH v3 17/20] fs/proc/task_mmu: remove per-page mapcount dependency for PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2025 17:30:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250303163014.1128035-18-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250303163014.1128035-1-david@redhat.com>
Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE will now be set if folio_likely_mapped_shared() is
true -- when the folio is considered "mapped shared", including when
it once was "mapped shared" but no longer is, as documented.
This might result in and under-indication of "exclusively mapped", which
is considered better than over-indicating it: under-estimating the USS
(Unique Set Size) is better than over-estimating it.
As an alternative, we could simply remove that flag with
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT completely, but there might be value to it. So,
let's keep it like that and document the behavior.

@@ -38,6 +38,17 @@ There are four components to pagemap:
precisely which pages are mapped (or in swap) and comparing mapped
pages between processes.
+ Traditionally, bit 56 indicates that a page is mapped exactly once and bit
+ 56 is clear when a page is mapped multiple times, even when mapped in the
+ same process multiple times. In some kernel configurations, the semantics
+ for pages part of a larger allocation (e.g., THP) can differ: bit 56 is set
+ if all pages part of the corresponding large allocation are *certainly*
+ mapped in the same process, even if the page is mapped multiple times in that
+ process. Bit 56 is clear when any page page of the larger allocation
+ is *maybe* mapped in a different process. In some cases, a large allocation
+ might be treated as "maybe mapped by multiple processes" even though this
+ is no longer the case.
+
Efficient users of this interface will use ``/proc/pid/maps`` to
determine which areas of memory are actually mapped and llseek to
skip over unmapped regions.
