[PATCH 2/3] mm: make workingset detection logic memcg aware

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

 



Currently, inactive_age is maintained per zone, which makes file page
activations pretty random in case memory cgroups are used. This patch
moves inactive_age to lruvec and makes all workingset detection related
functions use mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() to get the actual inactive_age.

Note, we do not make pack_shadow() store info about the memory cgroup
the evicted page belonged to in a shadow entry. Instead, on refault, we
simply use the memory cgroup the refaulted page belongs to. Since page
migration between different memory cgroups is a rather rare event, this
should be acceptable.
