Subject: [RFC PATCH 38/57] mm/collapse: report the round, and what it made faulters wait
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 23:45:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816224609.308019-39-kirill@shutemov.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260816224609.308019-1-kirill@shutemov.name>
From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
A round is the unit the engine actually works in, and nothing reports one.
The per-candidate events say which windows were taken and which were
refused. They do not say how large the batch was, how much of it landed,
or the number that matters most for whether batching was the right idea:
how long a faulter on a source is held up.
That wait has a definite span. A thread touching a source sleeps on the
folio lock the freeze took, and wakes when the putback drops it. So the
interval from the first freeze to the last putback is what the round costs
anyone unlucky enough to touch it.
Add mm_collapse_round: that interval in microseconds, with the candidates
collected, the ones installed, and the outcome. It is the thing to watch
if a larger batch is ever proposed.
collapse_finish() returns the number of candidates installed, and this is
its first consumer.
