From e3a9ac4e866ea746475b4026819a8c08ec1142e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Burkov Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 14:55:36 -0700 Subject: mm: add vmstat for kernel_file pages Kernel file pages are tricky to track because they are indistinguishable from files whose usage is accounted to the root cgroup. To maintain good accounting, introduce a vmstat counter tracking kernel file pages. Confirmed that these work as expected at a high level by mounting a btrfs using AS_KERNEL_FILE for metadata pages, and seeing the counter rise with fs usage then go back to a minimal level after drop_caches and finally down to 0 after unmounting the fs.
