From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>
XFS currently only tracks inodes for reclaim via tag bits in the
inode cache radix tree. While this is awesome for background reclaim
because it allows inodes to be reclaimed in ascending disk offset
order, it sucks for direct memory reclaim which really is trying to
free the oldest inodes from memory.
As such, the direct reclaim code is a bit of a mess. It has all
sorts of heuristics code to try to avoid dueling shrinker problems
and to limit each radix tree to a single direct reclaim walker at a
time. We can do better.
Given that at the point in time that we mark an inode as under
reclaim, it has been evicted from the VFS inode cache, we can reuse
the struct inode LRU fields to hold our own reclaim ordered LRU
list. With the generic LRU code, it doesn't impact on scalability,
and the shrinker can walk the LRU lists directly giving us
node-aware inode cache reclaim.
This means that we get the best of both worlds - background reclaim
runs very efficiently in terms of IO for cleaning dirty reclaimable
inodes, while direct reclaim can walk the LRU lists and pick inodes
to reclaim that suit the MM subsystem the best.
