[PATCH V7 5/9] Infrastructure to support per-memcg reclaim.

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

 



Add the kswapd_mem field in kswapd descriptor which links the kswapd
kernel thread to a memcg. The per-memcg kswapd is sleeping in the wait
queue headed at kswapd_wait field of the kswapd descriptor.

The kswapd() function is now shared between global and per-memcg kswapd. It
is passed in with the kswapd descriptor which contains the information of
either node or memcg. Then the new function balance_mem_cgroup_pgdat is
invoked if it is per-mem kswapd thread, and the implementation of the function
is on the following patch.

change v7..v6:
1. change the threading model of memcg from per-memcg-per-thread to thread-pool.
this is based on the patch from KAMAZAWA.

change v6..v5:
1. rename is_node_kswapd to is_global_kswapd to match the scanning_global_lru.
2. revert the sleeping_prematurely change, but keep the kswapd_try_to_sleep()
for memcg.

changelog v4..v3:
1. fix up the kswapd_run and kswapd_stop for online_pages() and offline_pages.
2. drop the PF_MEMALLOC flag for memcg kswapd for now per KAMAZAWA's request.

changelog v3..v2:
1. split off from the initial patch which includes all changes of the following
three patches.
