commit1ec0e6b6f7upstream. Callers of migrate_pages() should adjust NR_MIGRATED_{ANON,FILE} for isolations and putback of the folios. That for migration succeeded folios is done by migrate_pages(), in migrate_folio_done(). That for MR_DEMOTION reason is an exception though. DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} call migrate_pages() but mistakenly not doing the stat adjustment. As a result, use of DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} could corrupt the stat. It could confuse too_many_isolated(), make compaction and reclaim to behave in unexpected ways. The stat corruption can be reproduced and confirmed using DAMON user-space tool [1] on NUMA systems, like below. $ numactl --hardware available: 2 nodes (0-1) [...] $ sudo ./damo start --damos_action migrate_hot 1 $ sudo cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh $ sudo dmesg [...] [ 80.215554] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_anon -5578 [ 80.216842] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_file -34400 This issue was discovered [2] by Sashiko.

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 reStructuredText 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.
