Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ptdesc: remove references to folios from __pagetable_ctor() and pagetable_dtor()"
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:24:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225002434.2953895-1-axelrasmussen@google.com> (raw)
This change swapped out mod_node_page_state for lruvec_stat_add_folio.
But, these two APIs are not interchangeable: the lruvec version also
increments memcg stats, in addition to "global" pgdat stats.
So after this change, the "pagetables" memcg stat in memory.stat always
yields "0", which is a userspace visible regression.
I tried to look for a refactor where we add a variant of
lruvec_stat_mod_folio which takes a pgdat and a memcg instead of a
folio, to try to adhere to the spirit of the original patch. But at the
end of the day this just means we have to call
folio_memcg(ptdesc_folio(ptdesc)) anyway, which doesn't really
accomplish much.
This regression is visible in master as well as 6.18 stable, so CC
stable too.
