That's what the page allocator takes as input, but it's translated to
zones fairly quickly, and it definitely doesn't exist in the reclaim
code anymore.  The way we reconstruct the node view on that level
really is ad-hoc.  And that is a problem.  It's not just duplicative,
it's also that reclaim really needs the ability to target types of
zones in order to meet allocation constraints, and right now we just
scatter-shoot slab objects and hope we free some desired zone memory.

I don't see any intrinsic value in symmetry here, especially since we
can easily encapsulate how the lists are organized for the shrinkers.
Vladimir is already pushing the interface in that direction: add
object, remove object, walk objects according to this shrink_control.

Kswapd, which does the majority of reclaim - unless pressure mounts
too high - already invokes the shrinkers per-zone, so this seems like
a granularity we should generally get away with.

Yes, that is something we should do, but it seems orthogonal for now.
We can always wrap up the interface once we agree on how to organize
the objects.

Could you share the benchmark you are running?  Also, how many nodes
does this machine have?

My suspicion is that invoking the shrinkers per-zone against the same
old per-node lists incorrectly triples the slab pressure relative to
the lru pressure.  Kswapd already does this, but I'm guessing it
matters less under lower pressure, and once pressure mounts direct
reclaim takes over, which my patch made more aggressive.

Organizing the slab objects on per-zone lists would solve this, and
would also allow proper zone reclaim to meet allocation restraints.

But for now, how about the following patch that invokes the shrinkers
once per node, but uses the allocator's preferred zone as the pivot
for nr_scanned / nr_eligible instead of summing up the node?  That
doesn't increase the current number of slab invocations, actually
reduces them for kswapd, but would put the shrinker calls at a more
natural level for reclaim, and would also allow us to go ahead with
the cgroup-aware slab shrinkers.

Subject: [patch] mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone()

The slab shrinkers are currently invoked from the zonelist walkers in
kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim, all of which roughly gauge
the eligible LRU pages and assemble a nodemask to pass to NUMA-aware
shrinkers, which then again have to walk over the nodemask.  This is
redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it
comes to the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages.  The code
duplication will only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware
and requiring them to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well.

Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all
reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication.

Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which
considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space,
like zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does.  Accumulate the number
over all visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value.

Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions.
To avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them
once for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the
pivot zone.  At some point, we may want to think about organizing slab
objects directly on per-zone lists instead, which would also allow
targetting them more directly under zone-constrained allocations.

For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim
logic and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct
reclaim, and zone reclaim.  It also prepares for cgroup-awareness,
allowing memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level
without much duplication of both code and runtime work.
