SubjectRe: [PATCH v4] Add /proc/PID/smaps support for DAX
From
Date
I'm honestly not understanding what problem this solves.  Could you,
perhaps, do a before and after of smaps with and without this patch?

> +/* page structure behind DAX mappings is NOT compound page

> + */

Why do they need to be compound? Why don't we just make them compound
instead of adding all this code which is *just* for DAX?

How can you have DAX anonymous huge pages?

> + mss->resident += size;
> + /* Accumulate the size in pages that have been accessed. */
> + if (young || page_is_young(page) || PageReferenced(page))
> + mss->referenced += size;

Isn't this just a copy'n'paste of smaps_account() code?

PSS makes *zero* sense for DAX. The "memory" is used whether the
mapping exists or not.

Also, the idea of "private" doesn't really make sense here.

There's a fair amount of copying and pasting going on here. There is,
again, a bunch of specialized DAX code. Isn't there a way to do this
more generically?
