The following events (counters) can be used to monitor page migration.
1. PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS: Normal page migration success. Each count means that a
- page was migrated. If the page was a non-THP page, then this counter is
- increased by one. If the page was a THP, then this counter is increased by
- the number of THP subpages. For example, migration of a single 2MB THP that
- has 4KB-size base pages (subpages) will cause this counter to increase by
- 512.
+ page was migrated. If the page was a non-THP and non-hugetlb page, then
+ this counter is increased by one. If the page was a THP or hugetlb, then
+ this counter is increased by the number of THP or hugetlb subpages.
+ For example, migration of a single 2MB THP that has 4KB-size base pages
+ (subpages) will cause this counter to increase by 512.
2. PGMIGRATE_FAIL: Normal page migration failure. Same counting rules as for
PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS, above: this will be increased by the number of subpages,
- if it was a THP.
+ if it was a THP or hugetlb.
3. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS: A THP was migrated without being split.
