Subject: [PATCH v2] ipc/shm: fix RSS accounting for hugetlb shared memory
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 16:22:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014082218.2236088-1-tongweilin@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

Commit a08c7193e4f1 ("mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in
filemap.c") changed mapping->nrpages to count base pages for hugetlb
folios. However, shm_add_rss_swap() still multiplies it by
pages_per_huge_page(), overcounting RSS in both SHM_INFO and
/proc/sysvipc/shm.

Use mapping->nrpages for RSS accounting across all backing types, and
account swap only for non-hugetlb shmem. Use READ_ONCE() for both counters
instead of info->lock, which does not protect nrpages and cannot provide
a consistent snapshot.

Fixes: a08c7193e4f1 ("mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in filemap.c")

Changes in v2 (suggested by Muchun Song):
- Share RSS accounting across all backing types, leaving only swap
  accounting conditional on CONFIG_SHMEM and non-hugetlb files.
- Replace info->lock with READ_ONCE() for both counters.
