Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v15 09/14] mm: multi-gen LRU: optimize multiple memcgs
When multiple memcgs are available, it is possible to use generations
as a frame of reference to make better choices and improve overall
performance under global memory pressure. This patch adds a basic
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, which 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 may cover the direct reclaim path.
While ensuring certain fairness to all eligible memcgs, proportional
scans of individual memcgs also require proper backoff to avoid
overshooting their aggregate reclaim target by too much. Otherwise it
can cause high direct reclaim latency. The conditions for backoff are:
1. At low priorities, for direct reclaim, if aging fairness or direct
reclaim latency is at risk, i.e., aging one memcg multiple times or
swapping after the target is met.
2. At high priorities, for global reclaim, if per-zone free pages are
above respective watermarks.
