Subject: xfs: properly account xfs_buf items as reclaimable
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:40:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813204929.2253988-1-sandeen@redhat.com> (raw)
It was reported that xfs_buf items are not accounted for as
reclaimable, and therefore various statistics in /proc/meminfo
and /proc/vmstat do not reflect their reclaimable nature as
other slab-allocated items with shrinkers would do, which in
turn affects the accuracy of stats such as MemAvailable.
2 patches here to add accounting for xfs_bufs allocated via
xfs_buf_alloc_kmem() and via xfs_buf_alloc_folio().
I was not sure how to handle xfs_buf_alloc_vmalloc but I think
that's a relatively rare path, and the above two will capture
the majority of xfs_buf allocations.
I've cc:d linux-mm just because i think this is the first
user of NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE in the tree?
Thanks,
-Eric
