[RFC PATCH 1/4] Disable "organizing cgroups over soft limit in a RB-Tree"

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

 



The current implementation of softlimit is based on per-zone RB tree, where
only the cgroup exceeds the soft_limit the most being selected for reclaim.

The problems are:

1. It takes no consideration of how many pages actually allocated on the zone
from this cgroup. The RB tree is indexed by the cgroup_(usage - soft_limit).

2. It makes less sense to only reclaim from one cgroup rather than reclaiming
all cgroups based on calculated propotion. This is required for fairness.

3. The target of the soft limit reclaim is to bring one cgroup's usage under
its soft_limit. However the target of global memory pressure is to reclaim
pages above the zone's high_wmark.

So the current softlimit reclaim is far from fulfilling the efficiency
requirement. From the discussion on LSF mm session, we agree to change to
organizing the memcgs in a round-robin fashion. This patch is to revert the
current RB-Tree implementation.
