Many workloads consumes significant amount of memory in pagetables. This
patch series exposes the pagetable comsumption for each memory cgroup.

For many workloads, pagetable consumption is significant and it makes
sense to expose it in the memory.stat for the memory cgroups. However at
the moment, the pagetables are accounted per-zone. Converting them to
per-node and using the right interface will correctly account for the
memory cgroups as well.

This patch does not change any functionality and only move the functions
which update the lruvec stats to vmstat.h from memcontrol.h. The main
reason for this patch is to be able to use these functions in the page
table contructor function which is defined in mm.h and we can not
include the memcontrol.h in that file.

This is a better place for this interface in general. The lruvec
abstraction, while invented for memcg, isn't specific to memcg at all.

Agreed, this is a useful stat item to have.

You need to update mm/vmstat.c::vmstat_text accordingly or
/proc/vmstat output will be bogus.
With that fixed, please feel free to add:

Oh I missed that. Thanks for catching.

I think this is in general a good metric to have but one specific
use-case we have is the user space network driver which mmaps the
memory of the applications for zero copy data transfers. This driver
can consume a large amount of memory in page tables. So, this metric
becomes really useful here.

Got it, thank you for the explanation!
Would you mind to add this text to the cover letter as an example?

Thanks for the review.

Hi Shakeel!
The code looks good to me. However I'm not sure I understand what's the
use case for the new statistics? Can you, please, elaborate a bit more here?
From a very first glance, the size of pagetables should be _roughly_ equal
to the size_of(pte)/PAGE_SIZE*(size of a cgroup) and should not exceed 1%
of the cgroup size. So for all but very large cgroups the value will be
in the noise of per-cpu counters. Perhaps I'm missing some important cases?
Thanks!
