Patch series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout counters", v6. The patchset introduces a framework to facilitate mTHP counters, starting with the allocation and swap-out counters. Currently, only four new nodes are appended to the stats directory for each mTHP size. /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>/stats anon_fault_alloc anon_fault_fallback anon_fault_fallback_charge anon_swpout anon_swpout_fallback These nodes are crucial for us to monitor the fragmentation levels of both the buddy system and the swap partitions. In the future, we may consider adding additional nodes for further insights. This patch (of 4): Profiling a system blindly with mTHP has become challenging due to the lack of visibility into its operations. Presenting the success rate of mTHP allocations appears to be pressing need. Recently, I've been experiencing significant difficulty debugging performance improvements and regressions without these figures. It's crucial for us to understand the true effectiveness of mTHP in real-world scenarios, especially in systems with fragmented memory. This patch establishes the framework for per-order mTHP counters. It begins by introducing the anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback counters. Additionally, to maintain consistency with thp_fault_fallback_charge in /proc/vmstat, this patch also tracks anon_fault_fallback_charge when mem_cgroup_charge fails for mTHP. Incorporating additional counters should now be straightforward as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
