[PATCH] mm/memcontrol.c: speed up to force empty a memory cgroup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



mem_cgroup_force_empty() tries to free only 32 (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) pages
on each iteration, if a memory cgroup has lots of page cache, it will
take many iterations to empty all page cache, so increase the reclaimed
number per iteration to speed it up. same as in mem_cgroup_resize_limit()

a simple test show:

  $dd if=aaa  of=bbb  bs=1k count=3886080
  $rm -f bbb
  $time echo 100000000 >/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes

Before: 0m0.252s ===> after: 0m0.178s
