* tracing: Don't call page_to_pfn() if page is NULLWen Congyang2012-10-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 85f2a2ef1d0ab99523e0b947a2b723f5650ed6aa upstream. When allocating memory fails, page is NULL. page_to_pfn() will cause the kernel panicked if we don't use sparsemem vmemmap.

* vmscan: tracing: add trace events for kswapd wakeup, sleeping and direct reclaimMel Gorman2010-08-091-37/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add two trace events for kswapd waking up and going asleep for the purposes of tracking kswapd activity and two trace events for direct reclaim beginning and ending. The information can be used to work out how much time a process or the system is spending on the reclamation of pages and in the case of direct reclaim, how many pages were reclaimed for that process. High frequency triggering of these events could point to memory pressure problems.

* tracing, page-allocator: add trace event for page traffic related to the ↵Mel Gorman2009-09-221-0/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | buddy lists The page allocation trace event reports that a page was successfully allocated but it does not specify where it came from. When analysing performance, it can be important to distinguish between pages coming from the per-cpu allocator and pages coming from the buddy lists as the latter requires the zone lock to the taken and more data structures to be examined. This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue reporting when a page is being allocated from the buddy lists. It distinguishes between being called to refill the per-cpu lists or whether it is a high-order allocation. Similarly, this patch adds an event to catch when the PCP lists are being drained a little and pages are going back to the buddy lists. This is trickier to draw conclusions from but high activity on those events could explain why there were a large number of cache misses on a page-allocator-intensive workload. The coalescing and splitting of buddies involves a lot of writing of page metadata and cache line bounces not to mention the acquisition of an interrupt-safe lock necessary to enter this path.

* tracing, page-allocator: add trace events for anti-fragmentation falling ↵Mel Gorman2009-09-221-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | back to other migratetypes Fragmentation avoidance depends on being able to use free pages from lists of the appropriate migrate type. In the event this is not possible, __rmqueue_fallback() selects a different list and in some circumstances change the migratetype of the pageblock. Simplistically, the more times this event occurs, the more likely that fragmentation will be a problem later for hugepage allocation at least but there are other considerations such as the order of page being split to satisfy the allocation. This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue_fallback() that reports what page is being used for the fallback, the orders of relevant pages, the desired migratetype and the migratetype of the lists being used, whether the pageblock changed type and whether this event is important with respect to fragmentation avoidance or not. This information can be used to help analyse fragmentation avoidance and help decide whether min_free_kbytes should be increased or not.

* tracing, page-allocator: add trace events for page allocation and page freeingMel Gorman2009-09-221-0/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds trace events for the allocation and freeing of pages, including the freeing of pagevecs. Using the events, it will be known what struct page and pfns are being allocated and freed and what the call site was in many cases. The page alloc tracepoints be used as an indicator as to whether the workload was heavily dependant on the page allocator or not. You can make a guess based on vmstat but you can't get a per-process breakdown. Depending on the call path, the call_site for page allocation may be __get_free_pages() instead of a useful callsite. Instead of passing down a return address similar to slab debugging, the user should enable the stacktrace and seg-addr options to get a proper stack trace. The pagevec free tracepoint has a different usecase. It can be used to get a idea of how many pages are being dumped off the LRU and whether it is kswapd doing the work or a process doing direct reclaim.
