Wouldn't it make more sense to actually count the number of unaccepted pages in the buddy? Once that number drops to 0, one knows that there is no unaccepted memory left in the buddy.

We can do it in the core mm if we can tolerate sporious vmcount bump. Otherwise it has to happen under the lock in the arch code. > Also, I'm a bit > confused about the granularity here (PMD_SIZE). That's how we track it in x86. The count itself is in pages. Different arch can choose different granularity. > > /* In early boot nr_unaccepted is not yet initialized */ > > if (nr_unaccepted) { > > diff --git a/include/linux/vm_event_item.h b/include/linux/vm_event_item.h > > index 16a0a4fd000b..6a468164a2f9 100644 > > --- a/include/linux/vm_event_item.h > > +++ b/include/linux/vm_event_item.h > > @@ -136,6 +136,9 @@ enum vm_event_item { PGPGIN, PGPGOUT, PSWPIN, PSWPOUT, > > #ifdef CONFIG_X86 > > DIRECT_MAP_LEVEL2_SPLIT, > > DIRECT_MAP_LEVEL3_SPLIT, > > +#endif > > +#ifdef CONFIG_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY > > + ACCEPT_MEMORY, > > #endif > > NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS > > }; > > diff --git a/mm/vmstat.c b/mm/vmstat.c > > index b75b1a64b54c..4c9197f32406 100644 > > --- a/mm/vmstat.c > > +++ b/mm/vmstat.c > > @@ -1397,6 +1397,9 @@ const char * const vmstat_text[] = { > > "direct_map_level2_splits", > > "direct_map_level3_splits", > > #endif > > +#ifdef CONFIG_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY > > + "accept_memory", > > +#endif > > #endif /* CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS || CONFIG_MEMCG */ > > }; > > #endif /* CONFIG_PROC_FS || CONFIG_SYSFS || CONFIG_NUMA || CONFIG_MEMCG */ > > How exactly would I be able to figure out if "memory acceptation is > still ongoing" if there is one last remaining page stuck at the tail of > the freelist? "still ongoing" in sense it is happening now, like if it increases system does memory accept. > Wouldn't it make more sense to actually count the number of unaccepted > pages in the buddy?

The counter increased every time kernel accepts a memory region. The counter allows to see if memory acceptation is still ongoing and contributes to memory allocation latency.
