Subject: [PATCH v6 7/7] mm/mglru: add tracepoint for inc_max_seq()
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 10:56:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103025610.3738894-8-ridong.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103025610.3738894-1-ridong.chen@linux.dev>
From: Ridong Chen <chenridong@xiaomi.com>
Aging in MGLRU advances max_seq via inc_max_seq(), creating a new
youngest generation. There is currently no tracepoint on this path, so
the moment a new generation is created, and how the min_seq of each type
trails behind it, cannot be observed as it happens.
Add mm_mglru_inc_max_seq, emitted right after max_seq is bumped while
the lruvec lock is still held, with the node id, memcg id, the new
max_seq, the anon and file min_seq, and the number of pages in each
generation for both types, as computed by lruvec_gen_size().
The nr_anon/nr_file arrays are ordered by seq rather than by generation
slot: entry i holds the generation max_seq - MAX_NR_GENS + 1 + i, i.e.
they go from the oldest generation to the newest, the same order as the
debugfs lru_gen file, so the output can be read directly without mapping
slots back to seqs. Entries for seqs below the corresponding min_seq are
not in use and normally read as 0. The arrays are printed with
__print_array(), so the output is hex and its length follows
MAX_NR_GENS automatically.
Only the lruvec is passed in; all of the above is collected in
TP_fast_assign(), so inc_max_seq() does no extra work when the event is
disabled. Paired with mm_mglru_scan_folios it makes the full
aging-to-eviction window observable per memcg.
