Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] mm,page_owner: Fix accounting of pages when migrating
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2024 07:30:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240326063036.6242-4-osalvador@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240326063036.6242-1-osalvador@suse.de>

Upon migration, new allocated pages are being given the handle of the old
pages. This is problematic because it means that for the stack which
allocated the old page, we will be substracting the old page + the new one
when that page is freed, creating an accounting imbalance.

There is an interest in keeping it that way, as otherwise the output will
biased towards migration stacks should those operations occur often, but
that is not really helpful.
The link from the new page to the old stack is being performed by calling
__update_page_owner_handle() in __folio_copy_owner().
The only thing that is left is to link the migrate stack to the old
page, so the old page will be subtracted from the migrate stack,
avoiding by doing so any possible imbalance.

Fixes: 217b2119b9e2 ("mm,page_owner: implement the tracking of the stacks count")
