Subject: mm/migrate: exclude hugetlb folios from MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON accounting
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d09a8fd521476950079ee01a1408e6f5b7a0aa3e;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

mm/migrate: exclude hugetlb folios from MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON accounting

__folio_migrate_mapping() increments MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON for the destination
folio when `folio_test_anon(folio) && folio_test_large(folio)` is true.
However, hugetlb folios satisfy both conditions despite having a
completely separate accounting system — they use hugetlb_add_anon_rmap()
which does not touch mTHP stats, and their free path also bypasses the
mTHP decrement in __free_pages_prepare().

This causes MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON to be incremented on each hugetlb migration
without a corresponding decrement, permanently inflating the nr_anon
counter.

Add a !folio_test_hugetlb() check to __folio_migrate_mapping() so that
only actual mTHP folios are counted.
