When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages. * v6 * Fix build error kbuildbot reported * https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/201907251647.fhJ6XzdA%25lkp@xxxxxxxxx/ * https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/201907251529.kTj2FpcL%25lkp@xxxxxxxxx/ * v5 * Fix typo and correct wrong lazy_mmu_mode pair use - surenb * v2 * add up the warn with lots of page cache workload - mhocko * add man page stuff - dave * v1 * remove page_mapcount filter - hannes, mhocko * remove idle page handling - joelaf * RFCv2 * add more description - mhocko * RFCv1 * renaming from MADV_COOL to MADV_COLD - hannes * internal review * use clear_page_youn in deactivate_page - joelaf * Revise the description - surenb * Renaming from MADV_WARM to MADV_COOL - surenb Cc: linux-arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: James E.J.
