[PATCH v4] mm/lruvec: trace LRU add drains and drain-all requests

[PATCH v4] mm/lruvec: trace LRU add drains and drain-all requests

[JP Kobryn]

LRU add batches can be drained before they reach capacity. This can be a
source of LRU lock contention, but it is not currently possible to
attribute these drains to callers with existing tracepoints.

Add mm_lru_add_drain to report the CPU and lru_add batch count when an
lru_add batch is drained. This allows tracing to distinguish full drains
from partial drains and attribute them to the calling stack.

Add mm_lru_add_drain_all to capture callers of __lru_add_drain_all and
whether they set the force flag for all CPUs. The tracepoint resembles
the signature of the enclosing function, but is needed because of
potential inlining.

v4:
  - renamed nr_folio_add to nr_folios in lru_add_drain()
  - renamed nr to nr_folios in tracepoint for consistency

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260610195220.12403-1-jp.kobryn@linux.dev/
  - restored and renamed tracepoint in __lru_add_drain_all

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260609041156.31127-1-jp.kobryn@linux.dev/
  - removed mm_lru_drain_all tracepoint

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260609041156.31127-1-jp.kobryn@linux.dev/
