Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm: add vmstat for cgroup uncharged pages
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2025 16:40:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0b3856a4f86bcd684c715469c8a1cb2000bcbe2.1755300815.git.boris@bur.io> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1755300815.git.boris@bur.io>
Uncharged pages are tricky to track by their essential "uncharged"
nature. To maintain good accounting, introduce a vmstat counter tracking
all uncharged pages. Since this is only meaningful when cgroups are
configured, only expose the counter when CONFIG_MEMCG is set.
Confirmed that these work as expected at a high level by mounting a
btrfs using AS_UNCHARGED for metadata pages, and seeing the counter rise
with fs usage then go back to a minimal level after drop_caches and
finally down to 0 after unmounting the fs.
