Subject: [PATCH v6 08/12] mm/gup: /proc/vmstat: pin_user_pages (FOLL_PIN) reporting
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2020 16:15:32 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200211001536.1027652-9-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200211001536.1027652-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
Now that pages are "DMA-pinned" via pin_user_page*(), and unpinned via
unpin_user_pages*(), we need some visibility into whether all of this is
working correctly.
Add two new fields to /proc/vmstat:
nr_foll_pin_acquired
nr_foll_pin_released
These are documented in Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst.
They represent the number of pages (since boot time) that have been
pinned ("nr_foll_pin_acquired") and unpinned ("nr_foll_pin_released"),
via pin_user_pages*() and unpin_user_pages*().
In the absence of long-running DMA or RDMA operations that hold pages
pinned, the above two fields will normally be equal to each other.
Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, to remove an
earlier (now confirmed untrue) claim about a performance problem with
/proc/vmstat.
Also: updated Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst to rename the
new /proc/vmstat entries, to the names listed here.

You can monitor how many total dma-pinned pages have been acquired and released
since the system was booted, via two new /proc/vmstat entries: ::
- /proc/vmstat/nr_foll_pin_requested
- /proc/vmstat/nr_foll_pin_requested
+ /proc/vmstat/nr_foll_pin_acquired
+ /proc/vmstat/nr_foll_pin_released
-Those are both going to show zero, unless CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set. This is
-because there is a noticeable performance drop in unpin_user_page(), when they
-are activated.
+Under normal conditions, these two values will be equal unless there are any
+long-term [R]DMA pins in place, or during pin/unpin transitions.
+
+* nr_foll_pin_acquired: This is the number of logical pins that have been
+ acquired since the system was powered on. For huge pages, the head page is
+ pinned once for each page (head page and each tail page) within the huge page.
+ This follows the same sort of behavior that get_user_pages() uses for huge
+ pages: the head page is refcounted once for each tail or head page in the huge
+ page, when get_user_pages() is applied to a huge page.
+
+* nr_foll_pin_released: The number of logical pins that have been released since
+ the system was powered on. Note that pages are released (unpinned) on a
+ PAGE_SIZE granularity, even if the original pin was applied to a huge page.
+ Becaused of the pin count behavior described above in "nr_foll_pin_acquired",
+ the accounting balances out, so that after doing this::
+
+ pin_user_pages(huge_page);
+ for (each page in huge_page)
+ unpin_user_page(page);
+
+...the following is expected::
+
+ nr_foll_pin_released == nr_foll_pin_acquired
+
+(...unless it was already out of balance due to a long-term RDMA pin being in
+place.)
