Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 14/19] mm: page_reporting: add flush parameter with page budget
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 18:01:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <abd751c3d59d5c99c1f318d5c8e9027bdb26f024.1776808210.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1776808209.git.mst@redhat.com>
Add a write-only module parameter 'flush' that triggers immediate
page reporting. The value specifies approximately how many pages
(at page_reporting_order) to report. The flush loops through
reporting cycles, each processing up to PAGE_REPORTING_CAPACITY
pages, until the budget is exhausted, all pages are reported, or
a signal is pending.
This is helpful when there is a lot of memory freed quickly,
and a single cycle may not process all free pages due to
internal budget limits.
echo 512 > /sys/module/page_reporting/parameters/flush
