Since CMA is getting used more widely, it's more important to keep monitoring CMA statistics for system health since it's directly related to user experience. This patch introduces sysfs statistics for CMA, in order to provide some basic monitoring of the CMA allocator. * the number of CMA page successful allocations * the number of CMA page allocation failures These two values allow the user to calcuate the allocation failure rate for each CMA area. e.g.) /sys/kernel/mm/cma/WIFI/alloc_pages_[success|fail] /sys/kernel/mm/cma/SENSOR/alloc_pages_[success|fail] /sys/kernel/mm/cma/BLUETOOTH/alloc_pages_[success|fail] The cma_stat was intentionally allocated by dynamic allocation to harmonize with kobject lifetime management. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/YCOAmXqt6dZkCQYs@kroah.com/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210324230759.2213957-1-minchan@kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210316100433.17665-1-colin.king@canonical.com/ Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Tested-by: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Reviewed-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Tested-by: Anders Roxell <anders.roxell@linaro.org> Cc: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> Cc: John Dias <joaodias@google.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
