mm/codetag: fix pgalloc_tag_split()
The current assumption is that a large folio can only be split into order-0 folios. That is not the case for hugeTLB demotion, nor for THP split: see commit c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower order pages"). When a large folio is split into ones of a lower non-zero order, only the new head pages should be tagged. Tagging tail pages can cause imbalanced "calls" counters, since only head pages are untagged by pgalloc_tag_sub() and the "calls" counts on tail pages are leaked, e.g., # echo 2048kB >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size # echo 700 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages # time echo 700 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote # echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages # grep alloc_gigantic_folio /proc/allocinfo Before this patch: 0 549427200 mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio real 0m2.057s user 0m0.000s sys 0m2.051s After this patch: 0 0 mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio real 0m1.711s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.704s Not tagging tail pages also improves the splitting time, e.g., by about 15% when demoting 1GB hugeTLB folios to 2MB ones, as shown above.
