This patch was dropped because it had testing failures
------------------------------------------------------
From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Re: vfs: keep inodes with page cache off the inode shrinker LRU
The VFS inode shrinker is currently allowed to reclaim cold inodes with
populated page cache. This behavior goes back to CONFIG_HIGHMEM setups,
which required the ability to drop page cache in large highem zones to
free up struct inodes in comparatively tiny lowmem zones.
However, it has significant side effects that are hard to justify on
systems without highmem:
- It can drop gigabytes of hot and active page cache on the floor
without consulting the VM (recorded as "inodesteal" events in
/proc/vmstat). Such an "aging inversion" between unreferenced inodes
holding hot cache easily happens in practice: for example, a git tree
whose objects are accessed frequently but no open file descriptors are
maintained throughout.
- It can als prematurely drop non-resident info stored inside the
inodes, which can let massive cache thrashing go unnoticed. This in
turn means we're making the wrong decisions in page reclaim and can get
stuck in pathological thrashing. The thrashing also doesn't show up as
memory pressure in psi, causing failure in the userspace OOM detection
chain, which can leave a system (or Android device e.g.) stranded in a
livelock.
History
As this keeps causing problems for people, there have been several
attempts to address this.
One recent attempt was to make the inode shrinker simply skip over inodes
that still contain pages: a76cf1a474d7 ("mm: don't reclaim inodes with
many attached pages").
However, this change had to be reverted in 69056ee6a8a3 ("Revert "mm:
don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages"") because it caused severe
reclaim performance problems: Inodes that sit on the shrinker LRU are
attracting reclaim pressure away from the page cache and toward the VFS.
If we then permanently exempt sizable portions of this pool from actually
getting reclaimed when looked at, this pressure accumulates as deferred
shrinker work (a mechanism for *temporarily* unreclaimable objects) until
it causes mayhem in the VFS cache pools.
In the bug quoted in 69056ee6a8a3 in particular, the excessive pressure
drove the XFS shrinker into dirty objects, where it caused synchronous,
IO-bound stalls, even as there was plenty of clean page cache that should
have been reclaimed instead.
Another variant of this problem was recently observed, where the kernel
violates cgroups' memory.low protection settings and reclaims page cache
way beyond the configured thresholds. It was followed by a proposal of a
modified form of the reverted commit above, that implements
memory.low-sensitive shrinker skipping over populated inodes on the LRU
[1]. However, this proposal continues to run the risk of attracting
disproportionate reclaim pressure to a pool of still-used inodes, while
not addressing the more generic reclaim inversion problem outside of a
very specific cgroup application.

Solution
This patch fixes the aging inversion described above on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM
systems, without reintroducing the problems associated with excessive
shrinker LRU rotations, by keeping populated inodes off the shrinker LRUs
entirely.
Currently, inodes are kept off the shrinker LRU as long as they have an
elevated i_count, indicating an active user. Unfortunately, the page
cache cannot simply hold an i_count reference, because unlink() *should*
result in the inode being dropped and its cache invalidated.
Instead, this patch makes iput_final() consult the state of the page cache
and punt the LRU linking to the VM if the inode is still populated; the VM
in turn checks the inode state when it depopulates the page cache, and
adds the inode to the LRU if necessary.
This is not unlike what we do for dirty inodes, which are moved off the
LRU permanently until writeback completion puts them back on (iff still
unused). We can reuse the same code -- inode_add_lru() - here.
This is also not unlike page reclaim, where the lower VM layer has to
negotiate state with the higher VFS layer. Follow existing precedence and
handle the inversion as much as possible on the VM side:
- introduce an I_PAGES flag that the VM maintains under the i_lock, so
that any inode code holding that lock can check the page cache state
without having to lock and inspect the struct address_space
- introduce inode_pages_set() and inode_pages_clear() to maintain the
inode LRU state from the VM side, then update all cache mutators to use
them when populating the first cache entry or clearing the last
With this, the concept of "inodesteal" - where the inode shrinker drops
page cache - is relegated to CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems only. The VM is in
charge of the cache, the shrinker in charge of struct inode.
Footnotes
- For debuggability, add vmstat counters that track the number of times
a new cache entry pulls a previously unused inode off the LRU
(pginoderescue), as well as how many times existing cache deferred an
LRU addition. Keep the pginodesteal/kswapd_inodesteal counters for
backwards compatibility, but they'll just show 0 now.
- Fix /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to drop shadow entries from the page
cache. Not doing so has always been a bit strange, but since most
people drop cache and metadata cache together, the inode shrinker would
have taken care of them before - no more, so do it VM-side.
