Subject: [PATCH v10 11/14] mm: multi-gen LRU: thrashing prevention
Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms for thrashing prevention, as
requested by many desktop users [1].
When set to value N, it prevents the working set of N milliseconds
from getting evicted. The OOM killer is triggered if this working set
cannot be kept in memory. Based on the average human detectable lag
(~100ms), N=1000 usually eliminates intolerable lags due to thrashing.
Larger values like N=3000 make lags less noticeable at the risk of
premature OOM kills.
Compared with the size-based approach, e.g., [2], this time-based
approach has the following advantages:
1. It is easier to configure because it is agnostic to applications
and memory sizes.
2. It is more reliable because it is directly wired to the OOM killer.
