[PATCH v2] mm: vmscan: reclaim anon pages if there are swapcache pages

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

 



When spaces of swap devices are exhausted, only file pages can be reclaimed.
But there are still some swapcache pages in anon lru list. This can lead
to a premature out-of-memory.

This problem can be fixed by checking number of swapcache pages in
can_reclaim_anon_pages(). For memcg v2, there are swapcache stat that can
be used directly. For memcg v1, use total_swapcache_pages() instead, which
may not accurate but can solve the problem.
