Declaring a pagevec continues to create a pagevec which is the same size,
but functions which manipulate pagevecs no longer rely on this.

Willy,

I was expecting pagevec_size to be used in pagevec_lookup_range*
where we hardcoded the pagevec's top range to look for pages
as PAGEVEC_SIZE.  You define pagevec_size but seems like it is not used.
Or am I missing something?  

Thanks.

I have a number of changes already in that area that are currently in-flight.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201026041408.25230-1-willy@infradead.org/

(although I should modify patch 9/12 to not use PAGEVEC_SIZE directly)

I have some patches that I haven't bothered sending yet since I have so
many other outstanding patches to do something similar to find_get_pages()
/ find_get_pages_range() / pagevec_lookup() / pagevec_lookup_range().


The trace you sent showed the problem being with the lru_add pagevec,
and that's never used with the pagevec_lookup_* APIs (afaik), so I didn't
see it as urgent to fix those.

Okay. I assume that you are using pagevec_size somewhere to replace those
hardcoded PAGEVEC_SIZE somewhere.

Okay.

Thanks for allowing the bigger pagevec size tweak in your patches.

Ah.  I felt I should add it, as a counterpart to pagevec_count().
But most users don't need to ask what size the pagevec is; they just
add pages to it until it's full.  eg:

        pvec = this_cpu_ptr(&lru_pvecs.lru_add);
        if (!pagevec_add(pvec, page) || PageCompound(page))
                __pagevec_lru_add(pvec);

so as long as it's right in pagevec_add(), it'll be fine:

static inline unsigned pagevec_add(struct pagevec *pvec, struct page *page)
{
        pvec->pages[pvec->nr++] = page;
        return pagevec_space(pvec);
}

and I fix pagevec_space in patch 1:

        return pvec->sz - pvec->nr;
