When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly 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_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU* pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict proactively. A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1]. - man-page material MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x) Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure. Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed if a write access is allowed for the calling process. MADV_PAGEOUT 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/201907251759.zSy10dLW%25lkp@xxxxxxxxx/ * v4 * clear young bit regardless of success of page isolation - hannes * v3 * man page material modification - mhocko * remove using SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - mhocko * v2 * add comment about SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - mhocko * add permission check to prevent sidechannel attack - mhocko * add man page stuff - dave * v1 * change pte to old and rely on the other's reference - hannes * remove page_mapcount to check shared page - mhocko * RFC v2 * make reclaim_pages simple via factoring out isolate logic - hannes * RFCv1 * rename from MADV_COLD to MADV_PAGEOUT - hannes * bail out if process is being killed - Hillf * fix reclaim_pages bugs - Hillf [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190710194719.GS29695@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Cc: linux-arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: James E.J.
