From 2bbd00aef0671bfe3c2ca5ba67097246257de125 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:16:47 -0800 Subject: mm: vmstat: fix NOHZ wakeups for node stat changes On NOHZ, the periodic vmstat flushers on each CPU can go to sleep and won't wake up until stat changes are detected in the per-cpu deltas of the zone vmstat counters. In commit 75ef71840539 ("mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats") per-node counters were introduced, and subsequently most stats were moved from the zone to the node level. However, the node counters weren't added to the NOHZ wakeup detection. In theory this can cause per-cpu errors to remain in the user-reported stats indefinitely. In practice this only affects a handful of sub counters (file_mapped, dirty and writeback e.g.) because other page state changes at the node level likely involve a change at the zone level as well (alloc and free, lru ops). Also, nobody has complained. Fix it up for completeness: wake up vmstat refreshing on node changes. Also remove the BUILD_BUG_ONs that assert counter size; we haven't relied on it since we added sizeof() to the range calculation in commit 13c9aaf7fa01 ("mm/vmstat.c: fix NUMA statistics updates").
