Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm/mglru: add tracepoint for inc_max_seq()
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:28:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911072848.2346073-4-ridong.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911072848.2346073-1-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, with
the memcg id, the new max_seq, the anon and file min_seq, and the number
of pages in each generation for both types, summed over zones the same
way the debugfs lru_gen file reports them. The nr_anon/nr_file arrays are
indexed by generation slot, so the emitted max_seq/min_seq say which slot
holds which seq. They are printed with __print_array(), so the output is
hex and its length follows MAX_NR_GENS automatically. Paired with the
mm_mglru_scan_folios tracepoint it makes the full aging-to-eviction
window observable per memcg.
