Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a kill switch. Components that
can be disabled include:
0x0001: the multi-gen LRU core
0x0002: walking page table, when arch_has_hw_pte_young() returns
true
0x0004: clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y
[yYnN]: apply to all the components above
E.g.,
echo y >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0007
echo 5 >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0005
NB: the page table walks happen on the scale of seconds under heavy
memory pressure, in which case the mmap_lock contention is a lesser
concern, compared with the LRU lock contention and the I/O congestion.
So far the only well-known case of the mmap_lock contention happens on
Android, due to Scudo [1] which allocates several thousand VMAs for
merely a few hundred MBs. The SPF and the Maple Tree also have
provided their own assessments [2][3]. However, if walking page tables
does worsen the mmap_lock contention, the kill switch can be used to
disable it. In this case the multi-gen LRU will suffer a minor
performance degradation, as shown previously.
Clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries can also be
disabled, since this behavior was not tested on x86 varieties other
than Intel and AMD.
