Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm/mglru: invalidate empty-walk skip on page fault and migration
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 17:23:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807092343.4123734-4-baoquan.he@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807092343.4123734-1-baoquan.he@linux.dev>
empty_map skips an mm on a node for up to K generations after an empty
walk, leaving a window where pages that appear on that node are not aged
until the forced rescan. Notify MGLRU when a page of the mm appears:
set the node's bitmap bit and clear its empty_map bit. Fault and
migration are both software events, so the invalidation is complete - a
node marked empty has no pages there, so a page can only appear via a
fault or a migration.
- mm/memory.c do_anonymous_page()/finish_fault(): mark the folio's node
after the page is allocated (anon and file/COW faults).
- mm/migrate.c remove_migration_pte(): mark the folio's destination node
(also covers NUMA-balancing migration).
The bitmap bit is mostly redundant with schedule-time marking, but is
needed when migration targets an idle mm whose bits were already
cleared by a previous walk.
