[PATCH v1 2/2] memcg, vmpressure: expose vmpressure controls

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

 



From: Leonid Moiseichuk <lmoiseichuk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

vmpressure code used hardcoded empirically selected values
to control levels and parameters for reclaiming pages which
might be not acceptable for all memory profiles.

This change exposed vmpressure controls with legacy defaults:
- memory.pressure_window (512 or SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX * 16)
- memory.pressure_level_critical_prio (3)
- memory.pressure_level_medium (60)
- memory.pressure_level_critical (95)

Depending from your device memory profile and running software
these parameters could be tweaked, e.g. for 8 GB Magic Leap One
device reasonable changes will be:
- memory.pressure_window = 1024
- memory.pressure_level_medium = 75
- memory.pressure_level_critical = 85

In case if your hardware uses 12 or 16 GB RAM the numbers should
be tuned respectively.
