Subject: [PATCH v8 09/14] mm: multi-gen LRU: optimize multiple memcgs
When multiple memcgs are available, it is possible to make better
choices based on generations and tiers and therefore improve the
overall performance under global memory pressure. This patch adds a
rudimentary optimization to select memcgs that can drop single-use
unmapped clean pages first. Doing so reduces the chance of going into
the aging path or swapping. These two operations can be costly.
A typical example that benefits from this optimization is a server
running mixed types of workloads, e.g., heavy anon workload in one
memcg and heavy buffered I/O workload in the other.
Though this optimization can be applied to both kswapd and direct
reclaim, it is only added to kswapd to keep the patchset manageable.
Later improvements will cover the direct reclaim path.
