docs: get rid of :c:type explicit declarations for structs

2020-10-15T05:49:40Z

The :c:type:`foo` only works properly with structs before Sphinx 3.x. On Sphinx 3.x, structs should now be declared using the .. c:struct, and referenced via :c:struct tag. As we now have the automarkup.py macro, that automatically convert: struct foo into cross-references, let's get rid of that, solving several warnings when building docs with Sphinx 3.x.

docs/vm: fix 'mm_count' vs 'mm_users' counter confusion

2020-10-14T01:38:32Z

In the context of the anonymous address space lifespan description the 'mm_users' reference counter is confused with 'mm_count'. I.e a "zombie" mm gets released when "mm_count" becomes zero, not "mm_users".

2020-09-16T18:19:51Z

The migrate_vma_setup(), migrate_vma_pages(), and migrate_vma_finalize() API usage by device drivers is not well documented. Add a description for how device drivers are expected to use it.

mm/vmstat: add events for THP migration without split

2020-08-12T17:57:57Z

Add following new vmstat events which will help in validating THP migration without split. Statistics reported through these new VM events will help in performance debugging. 1. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS 2. THP_MIGRATION_FAILURE 3. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT In addition, these new events also update normal page migration statistics appropriately via PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS and PGMIGRATE_FAILURE. While here, this updates current trace event 'mm_migrate_pages' to accommodate now available THP statistics.

mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present()

2020-08-07T18:33:27Z

After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory: sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present(). Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called one after the other. Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present() and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function. Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.
