[RFC 2/3] mm: introduce GCMA

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

 



From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch introduces GCMA (Guaranteed Contiguous Memory Allocator)
cleacache backend which reserves some amount of memory at the boot
and then donates it to store clean file-backed pages in the cleancache.
GCMA aims to guarantee contiguous memory allocation success as well as
low and deterministic allocation latency.

Notes:
Originally, the idea was posted by SeongJae Park and Minchan Kim [1].
Later Minchan reworked it to be used in Android as a reference for
Android vendors to use [2].

+	  This enables the Guaranteed Contiguous Memory Allocator to allow
+	  low latency guaranteed contiguous memory allocations. Memory
+	  reserved by GCMA is donated to cleancache to be used as pagecache
+	  extension. Once GCMA allocation is requested, necessary pages are
+	  taken back from the cleancache and used to satisfy the request.
+	  Cleancache guarantees low latency successful allocation as long
+	  as the total size of GCMA allocations does not exceed the size of
+	  the memory donated to the cleancache.
