Subject: [PATCH v2 19/20] fs/proc/task_mmu: remove per-page mapcount dependency for smaps/smaps_rollup (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:56:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250224165603.1434404-20-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250224165603.1434404-1-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no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

When computing the output for smaps / smaps_rollups, in particular when
calculating the USS (Unique Set Size) and the PSS (Proportional Set Size),
we still rely on per-page mapcounts.

To determine private vs. shared, we'll use folio_likely_mapped_shared(),
similar to how we handle PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE. Similarly, we might now
under-estimate the USS and count pages towards "shared" that are
actually "private" ("exclusively mapped").

When calculating the PSS, we'll now also use the average per-page
mapcount for large folios: this can result in both, an over-estimation
and an under-estimation of the PSS. The difference is not expected to
matter much in practice, but we'll have to learn as we go.

We can now provide folio_precise_page_mapcount() only with
CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT, and remove one of the last users of per-page
mapcounts when CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT is enabled.

Document the new behavior.

+Note that in some kernel configurations, all pages part of a larger allocation

+Some kernel configurations do not track the precise number of times a page part
