[RFC PATCH 1/2] mm: vmscan: modify the semantics of scan_control.may_unmap to UNMAP_ANON and UNMAP_FILE

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

 



This is a preparation patch to add disable_unmap_file arg to memory.reclaim.

So far, the value of scan_control.may_unmap has only two types, true or false,
which represents whether pages can be unmapped for reclamation in the reclamation
path. It cannot distinguish between file pages and anonymous pages, so we cannot
make a more accurate choice when proactively reclaiming memory in user space. In
practical experience, mapped file pages are crucial for the operation of the program,
usually containing important executable code, data, and shared libraries, etc.
Therefore, it is necessary to make a more accurate distinction.
