From b109b87050df5438ee745b2bddfa3587970025bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2022 18:28:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final clearance Placing munlock_vma_page() at the end of page_remove_rmap() shifts most of the munlocking to clear_page_mlock(), since PageMlocked is typically still set when mapcount has fallen to 0. That is not what we want: we want /proc/vmstat's unevictable_pgs_cleared to remain as a useful check on the integrity of of the mlock/munlock protocol - small numbers are not surprising, but big numbers mean the protocol is not working. That could be easily fixed by placing munlock_vma_page() at the start of page_remove_rmap(); but later in the series we shall want to batch the munlocking, and that too would tend to leave PageMlocked still set at the point when it is checked. So delete clear_page_mlock() now: leave it instead to release_pages() (and __page_cache_release()) to do this backstop clearing of Mlocked, when page refcount has fallen to 0. If a pinned page occasionally gets counted as Mlocked and Unevictable until it is unpinned, that's okay. A slightly regrettable side-effect of this change is that, since release_pages() and __page_cache_release() may be called at interrupt time, those places which update NR_MLOCK with interrupts enabled had better use mod_zone_page_state() than __mod_zone_page_state() (but holding the lruvec lock always has interrupts disabled). This change, forcing Mlocked off when refcount 0 instead of earlier when mapcount 0, is not fundamental: it can be reversed if performance or something else is found to suffer; but this is the easiest way to separate the stats - let's not complicate that without good reason.
