There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large
file sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly:
the kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to
aggregate, when the user really doesn not care about per-page information
in that case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes
along, which can be quite slow as well.
This series of patches introduces a new system call, cachestat, that
summarizes the page cache statistics (number of cached pages, dirty
pages, pages marked for writeback, evicted pages etc.) of a file, in a
specified range of bytes. It also include a selftest suite that tests some
typical usage
This interface is inspired by past discussion and concerns with fincore,
which has a similar design (and as a result, issues) as mincore.

https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04209.html
For comparison with mincore, I ran both syscalls on a 2TB sparse file:
Using mincore:
real 0m37.510s
user 0m2.934s
sys 0m34.558s
Using cachestat:
real 0m0.009s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.009s
This series should be applied on top of:
workingset: fix confusion around eviction vs refault container
https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/1/4/1066
This series consist of 3 patches:
Nhat Pham (3):
workingset: refactor LRU refault to expose refault recency check
cachestat: implement cachestat syscall
selftests: Add selftests for cachestat

2.30.2
In preparation for computing recently evicted pages in cachestat,
refactor workingset_refault and lru_gen_refault to expose a helper
function that would test if an evicted page is recently evicted.

2.30.2
There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large
file sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly:
the kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to
aggregate, when the user really doesn not care about per-page
information in that case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each
file as it goes along, which can be quite slow as well.
This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file
and summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number
of pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc.
in a given range.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, off_t off, size_t len,
unsigned int cstat_version, struct cachestat *cstat,
unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
`cstat_version` is an unsigned integer indicating the specific
version of the cachestat struct. It must be at least 1, and does
not exceed the latest version number (which is currently 1). For
now, user should just pass 1.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid `cstat_version` or `flags`
EBADF invalid file descriptor.

2.30.2
Test cachestat on a newly created file, /dev/ files, and /proc/ files.
Also test on a shmem file (which can also be tested with huge pages
since tmpfs supports huge pages).

I need to add the new syscall to mips' syscall table
(arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscall_n32.tbl etc.)
There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large
file sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly:
the kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to
aggregate, when the user really doesn not care about per-page
information in that case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each
file as it goes along, which can be quite slow as well.
This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file
and summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number
of pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc.
in a given range.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, off_t off, size_t len,
unsigned int cstat_version, struct cachestat *cstat,
unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
`cstat_version` is an unsigned integer indicating the specific
version of the cachestat struct. It must be at least 1, and does
not exceed the latest version number (which is currently 1). For
now, user should just pass 1.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid `cstat_version` or `flags`
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
