V1 -> V3: + rebase to 23-mm1 atop RvR's split LRU series + define NR_NORECLAIM and LRU_NORECLAIM to avoid errors when not configured. V1 -> V2: + handle review comments -- various typos and errors. + extract "putback_all_noreclaim_pages()" into a separate patch and rework as "scan_all_zones_noreclaim_pages(). Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to maintain "nonreclaimable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide" them from vmscan. A separate noreclaim pagevec is provided for shrink_active_list() to move nonreclaimable pages to the noreclaim list without over burdening the zone lru_lock. Pages on the noreclaim list have both PG_noreclaim and PG_lru set. Thus, PG_noreclaim is analogous to and mutually exclusive with PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on. The noreclaim infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option [CONFIG_]NORECLAIM. A new function 'page_reclaimable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or not a page is reclaimable. Subsequent patches will add the various !reclaimable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path. Notes: 1. for now, use bit 30 in page flags. This restricts the no reclaim infrastructure to 64-bit systems. [The mlock patch, later in this series, uses another of these 64-bit-system-only flags.] Rationale: 32-bit systems have no free page flags and are less likely to have the large amounts of memory that exhibit the problems this series attempts to solve. [I'm sure someone will disabuse me of this notion.] Thus, NORECLAIM currently depends on [CONFIG_]64BIT. 2. The pagevec to move pages to the noreclaim list results in another loop at the end of shrink_active_list(). If we ultimately adopt Rik van Riel's split lru approach, I think we'll need to find a way to factor all of these loops into some common code. 3. TODO: Memory Controllers maintain separate active and inactive lists. Need to consider whether they should also maintain a noreclaim list. Also, convert to use Christoph's array of indexed lru variables? See //TODO note in mm/memcontrol.c re: isolating non-reclaimable pages. 4. TODO: more factoring of lru list handling. But, I want to get this as close to functionally correct as possible before introducing those perturbations.
