Shrinker Debugfs Interface | ||
========================== | ||
|
||
Shrinker debugfs interface provides a visibility into the kernel memory | ||
shrinkers subsystem and allows to get information about individual shrinkers. | ||
|
||
For each shrinker registered in the system a directory in **<debugfs>/shrinker/** | ||
is created. The directory's name is composed from the shrinker's name and an | ||
unique id: e.g. *kfree_rcu-0* or *sb-xfs:vda1-36*. | ||
|
||
Each shrinker directory contains the **count** file, which allows to trigger | ||
the *count_objects()* callback for each memcg and numa node (if applicable). | ||
|
||
Usage: | ||
------ | ||
|
||
1. *List registered shrinkers* | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/ | ||
$ ls | ||
dquota-cache-16 sb-devpts-28 sb-proc-47 sb-tmpfs-42 | ||
mm-shadow-18 sb-devtmpfs-5 sb-proc-48 sb-tmpfs-43 | ||
mm-zspool:zram0-34 sb-hugetlbfs-17 sb-pstore-31 sb-tmpfs-44 | ||
rcu-kfree-0 sb-hugetlbfs-33 sb-rootfs-2 sb-tmpfs-49 | ||
sb-aio-20 sb-iomem-12 sb-securityfs-6 sb-tracefs-13 | ||
sb-anon_inodefs-15 sb-mqueue-21 sb-selinuxfs-22 sb-xfs:vda1-36 | ||
sb-bdev-3 sb-nsfs-4 sb-sockfs-8 sb-zsmalloc-19 | ||
sb-bpf-32 sb-pipefs-14 sb-sysfs-26 thp-deferred_split-10 | ||
sb-btrfs:vda2-24 sb-proc-25 sb-tmpfs-1 thp-zero-9 | ||
sb-cgroup2-30 sb-proc-39 sb-tmpfs-27 xfs-buf:vda1-37 | ||
sb-configfs-23 sb-proc-41 sb-tmpfs-29 xfs-inodegc:vda1-38 | ||
sb-dax-11 sb-proc-45 sb-tmpfs-35 | ||
sb-debugfs-7 sb-proc-46 sb-tmpfs-40 | ||
|
||
2. *Get information about a specific shrinker* | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
$ cd sb-btrfs\:vda2-24/ | ||
$ ls | ||
count | ||
|
||
3. *Count objects* | ||
|
||
Each line in the output has the following format:: | ||
|
||
<cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1> ... | ||
<cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1> ... | ||
... | ||
|
||
If there are no objects on all numa nodes, a line is omitted. If there | ||
are no objects at all, the output might be empty. | ||
|
||
If the shrinker is not memcg-aware or CONFIG_MEMCG is off, 0 is printed | ||
as cgroup inode id. If the shrinker is not numa-aware, 0's are printed | ||
for all nodes except the first one. | ||
