Subject: [[repost]RFC PATCH] mm/workingset : judge file page activity via timestamp
From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@...soc.com>
this patch introduce timestamp into workingset's entry and judge if the page is
active or inactive via active_file/refault_ratio instead of refault distance.
The original thought is coming from the logs we got from trace_printk in this
patch, we can find about 1/5 of the file pages' refault are under the
scenario[1],which will be counted as inactive as they have a long refault distance
in between access. However, we can also know from the time information that the
page refault quickly as comparing to the average refault time which is calculated
by the number of active file and refault ratio. We want to save these kinds of
pages from evicted earlier as it used to be via setting it to ACTIVE instead.
The refault ratio is the value which can reflect lru's average file access
frequency in the past and provide the judge criteria for page's activation.
The patch is tested on an android system and reduce 30% of page faults, while
60% of the pages remain the original status as (refault_distance < active_file)
indicates. Pages status got from ftrace during the test can refer to [2].
