Subject: [PATCH] mm: compaction: include compound page count for scanning in pageblock isolation
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2022 21:28:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220711202806.22296-1-william.lam@bytedance.com> (raw)

The number of scanned pages can be lower than the number of isolated
pages when isolating mirgratable or free pageblock. The metric is being
reported in trace event and also used in vmstat.

This behaviour is confusing since currently the count for isolated pages
takes account of compound page but not for the case of scanned pages.
And given that the number of isolated pages(nr_taken) reported in
mm_compaction_isolate_template trace event is on a single-page basis,
the ambiguity when reporting the number of scanned pages can be removed
by also including compound page count.
