Revision 2bbd00aef0671bfe3c2ca5ba67097246257de125 authored by Johannes Weiner on 26 February 2021, 01:16:47 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 26 February 2021, 17:41:00 UTC
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").
