Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] introduce kernel file mapped folios
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 14:55:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1755812945.git.boris@bur.io> (raw)
I would like to revisit Qu's proposal to not charge btrfs extent_buffer
allocations to the user's cgroup.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/b5fef5372ae454a7b6da4f2f75c427aeab6a07d6.1727498749.git.wqu@suse.com/
I believe it is detrimental to account these global pages to the cgroup
using them, basically at random. A bit more justification and explanation
in the patches themselves.
---
Changelog:
v4:
- change the concept from "uncharged" to "kernel_file"
- no longer violates the invariant that each mapped folio has a memcg
when CONFIG_MEMCG=y
- no longer really tied to memcg conceptually, so simplify build/helpers
v3:
- use mod_node_page_state since we will never count cgroup stats
- include Shakeel's patch that removes a WARNING triggered by this series
v2:
- switch from filemap_add_folio_nocharge() to AS_UNCHARGED on the
address_space.
- fix an interrupt safety bug in the vmstat patch.
- fix some foolish build errors for CONFIG_MEMCG=n
Boris Burkov (3):
mm/filemap: add AS_KERNEL_FILE
mm: add vmstat for kernel_file pages
btrfs: set AS_KERNEL_FILE on the btree_inode
