Subject: [RFC][PATCH 5/9] mm/migrate: demote pages during reclaim
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>
This is mostly derived from a patch from Yang Shi:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1560468577-101178-10-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/
Add code to the reclaim path (shrink_page_list()) to "demote" data
to another NUMA node instead of discarding the data. This always
avoids the cost of I/O needed to read the page back in and sometimes
avoids the writeout cost when the pagee is dirty.
A second pass through shrink_page_list() will be made if any demotions
fail. This essentally falls back to normal reclaim behavior in the
case that demotions fail. Previous versions of this patch may have
simply failed to reclaim pages which were eligible for demotion but
were unable to be demoted in practice.
Note: This just adds the start of infratructure for migration. It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().
