mm/codetag: fix pgalloc_tag_split()
The current assumption is that a large folio can only be split into
order-0 folios. That is not the case for hugeTLB demotion, nor for THP
split: see commit c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower
order pages").
When a large folio is split into ones of a lower non-zero order, only the
new head pages should be tagged. Tagging tail pages can cause imbalanced
"calls" counters, since only head pages are untagged by pgalloc_tag_sub()
and the "calls" counts on tail pages are leaked, e.g.,
# echo 2048kB >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size
# echo 700 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
# time echo 700 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote
# echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
# grep alloc_gigantic_folio /proc/allocinfo
Before this patch:
0 549427200 mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio
real 0m2.057s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m2.051s
After this patch:
0 0 mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio
real 0m1.711s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m1.704s
Not tagging tail pages also improves the splitting time, e.g., by about
15% when demoting 1GB hugeTLB folios to 2MB ones, as shown above.
