[PATCH v10 4/6] mm: Add device side and notifier for unused page reporting

Alexander Duyck
2019-09-18T17:53:03Z

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@linux.intel.com>

With this patch we are adding the pieces needed to enable the reporting of
pages to a specific device. That device needs to register a page reporting
device that can be used to handle notifications that that pages are unused.

Registering the device will in turn enable the notifications and allow page
reporting to be active. When the the device is unregistered it will disable
page reporting notifications. For now we only allow one page reporting
device to be registered at a time.

The determination of when to start reporting is based on the tracking of
the number of free pages in a given area versus the number of reported
pages in that area. We keep track of the number of reported pages per
free_area in a separate zone specific area. We do this to avoid modifying
the free_area structure as this can lead to false sharing for the highest
order with the zone lock which leads to a noticeable performance
degradation.

Once reporting has started get_unreported_pages will use the
reported_boundary pointers to track where it should resume processing the
free lists. It will go through and either set the index if it finds a
reported page, or it will attempt to isolate the page so that it can be
reported.
