[patch] mm, thp: fix mlock statistics

From: David Rientjes
Date: Wed Sep 26 2012 - 22:29:58 EST


NR_MLOCK is only accounted in single page units: there's no logic to
handle transparent hugepages. This patch checks the appropriate number
of pages to adjust the statistics by so that the correct amount of memory
is reflected.

Currently:

$ grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
Mlocked: 19636 kB

#define MAP_SIZE (4 << 30) /* 4GB */

void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

$ grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
Mlocked: 29844 kB

munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

$ grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
Mlocked: 19636 kB

And with this patch:

$ grep Mlock /proc/meminfo
Mlocked: 19636 kB

mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

$ grep Mlock /proc/meminfo
Mlocked: 4213664 kB

munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

$ grep Mlock /proc/meminfo
Mlocked: 19636 kB
