Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm/mglru: add tracepoint for scan_folios()
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 18:29:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911102939.2485750-3-ridong.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911102939.2485750-1-ridong.chen@linux.dev>
From: Ridong Chen <chenridong@xiaomi.com>
MGLRU's scan_folios() emits the classic-LRU tracepoint
trace_mm_vmscan_lru_isolate(), which predates MGLRU. It reports the
scan/isolate counts and the LRU type, but carries no generation or
memcg context, so a trace of an MGLRU run cannot tell which memcg a
given scan belongs to, nor how far reclaim has progressed through the
generations.
Add mm_mglru_scan_folios next to it, reporting the same counters plus
nr_sorted (folios moved to a younger generation by sort_folio()) and
the MGLRU context the classic tracepoint lacks: the memcg id, and the
max_seq, tier and min_seq of the type being scanned.
scan_folios() is the MGLRU-specific layer where folios are actually
scanned, so it has no classic-LRU counterpart. That the classic
trace_mm_vmscan_lru_isolate() has lived here stably shows this is a
long-lived place to hook, and the new tracepoint can be enabled on its
own to observe the MGLRU-specific information. The existing tracepoint
is left unchanged.
