Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] mm/compaction: add per-folio isolation tracepoint
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 10:38:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604023812.3700316-3-chenwandun1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604023812.3700316-1-chenwandun1@gmail.com>
From: Wandun Chen <chenwandun@lixiang.com>
Add a tracepoint that fires once per folio successfully isolated by
isolate_migratepages_block(), recording the pfn, isolation mode and
the folio flags. Knowing these makes it easier to debug unexpected
isolation, such as mlocked or unevictable folios showing up on
PREEMPT_RT kernels [1].
