Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] per-process reclaim

Hi all,

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1480728

I sent per-process reclaim patchset three years ago. Then, last
feedback from akpm was that he want to know real usecase scenario.

Since then, I got question from several embedded people of various
company "why it's not merged into mainline" and heard they have used
the feature as in-house patch and recenlty, I noticed android from
Qualcomm started to use it.

Of course, our product have used it and released it in real procuct.

Thanks for the data, Sangwoo!
"
- Test scenaro
  - platform: android
  - target: MSM8952, 2G DDR, 16G eMMC
  - scenario
    retry app launch and Back Home with 16 apps and 16 turns
    (total app launch count is 256)
  - result:
			  resume count   |  cold launching count
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 vanilla           |           85        |          171
 perproc reclaim   |           184       |           72
"

Higher resume count is better because cold launching needs loading
lots of resource data which takes above 15 ~ 20 seconds for some
games while successful resume just takes 1~5 second.

As perproc reclaim way with new management policy, we could reduce
cold launching a lot(i.e., 171-72) so that it reduces app startup
a lot.

Another useful function from this feature is to make swapout easily
which is useful for testing swapout stress and workloads.

Thanks.
