Subject: [PATCH RFC lsfmm 0/6] mm: proactive reclaim and memory tiering topics
Hello,
With the increasing popularity of memory tiering, the idea of this series is to trigger
some discussion around David's[1] system-wide proactive reclaim beyond memcg[2] as well
as sysfs as the interface for exporting system-wide tiering information[2]. I am
hoping this can be discussed at LSFMM, and while I know many are interested in tiering
subjects in general, I have not seen anyone bring this up in the list.
There has been some initial discussion towards the need to expose system-wide tiering
information to userspace. I thought I'd start with two sysfs files as a node attribute
that exports the demotion_node as well as whether or not the node is fast memory. This
was considered (and I agree) better than a new /sys/devices/system/tier/tierN/ interface.
So, are we going to go this route? If so, what further information is useful for users?
Does having instead a /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/reclaim/ make sense?
Applies against Linus' current tree and has only been _gently_ tested.
Thanks!

drivers/base/node: cleanup register_node()
mm/vmscan: use node_is_toptier helper in node_reclaim
mm: make __node_reclaim() more flexible
mm: introduce per-node proactive reclaim interface
mm/migration: export demotion_path of a node via sysfs
mm/migrate: export whether or not tier is toptier in sysfs
