Mike reports that LTP memcg_stat_test usually leads to
memcg_stat_test 3 TINFO: Test unevictable with MAP_LOCKED
memcg_stat_test 3 TINFO: Running memcg_process --mmap-lock1 -s 135168
memcg_stat_test 3 TINFO: Warming up pid: 3460
memcg_stat_test 3 TINFO: Process is still here after warm up: 3460
memcg_stat_test 3 TFAIL: unevictable is 122880, 135168 expected
but may also lead to
memcg_stat_test 4 TINFO: Test unevictable with mlock
memcg_stat_test 4 TINFO: Running memcg_process --mmap-lock2 -s 135168
memcg_stat_test 4 TINFO: Warming up pid: 4271
memcg_stat_test 4 TINFO: Process is still here after warm up: 4271
memcg_stat_test 4 TFAIL: unevictable is 122880, 135168 expected
or both. A wee bit flaky.
follow_page_pte() used to have an lru_add_drain() per each page mlocked,
and the test came to rely on accurate stats. The pagevec to be drained
is different now, but still covered by lru_add_drain(); and, never mind
the test, I believe it's in everyone's interest that a bulk faulting
interface like populate_vma_page_range() or faultin_vma_page_range()
should drain its local pagevecs at the end, to save others sometimes
needing the much more expensive lru_add_drain_all().
This does not absolutely guarantee exact stats - the mlocking task can
be migrated between CPUs as it proceeds - but it's good enough and the
tests pass.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
