Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU", v3.
Overview
========
An memcg LRU is a per-node LRU of memcgs. It is also an LRU of LRUs,
since each node and memcg combination has an LRU of folios (see
mem_cgroup_lruvec()).
Its goal is to improve the scalability of global reclaim, which is
critical to system-wide memory overcommit in data centers. Note that
memcg reclaim is currently out of scope.
Its memory bloat is a pointer to each lruvec and negligible to each
pglist_data. In terms of traversing memcgs during global reclaim, it
improves the best-case complexity from O(n) to O(1) and does not affect
the worst-case complexity O(n). Therefore, on average, it has a sublinear
complexity in contrast to the current linear complexity.
The basic structure of an memcg LRU can be understood by an analogy to
the active/inactive LRU (of folios):
1. It has the young and the old (generations), i.e., the counterparts
to the active and the inactive;
2. The increment of max_seq triggers promotion, i.e., the counterpart
to activation;
3. Other events trigger similar operations, e.g., offlining an memcg
triggers demotion, i.e., the counterpart to deactivation.
In terms of global reclaim, it has two distinct features:
1. Sharding, which allows each thread to start at a random memcg (in
the old generation) and improves parallelism;
2. Eventual fairness, which allows direct reclaim to bail out at will
and reduces latency without affecting fairness over some time.
The commit message in patch 6 details the workflow:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221222041905.2431096-7-yuzhao@xxxxxxxxxx/
The following is a simple test to quickly verify its effectiveness.
Test design:
1. Create multiple memcgs.
2. Each memcg contains a job (fio).
3. All jobs access the same amount of memory randomly.
4. The system does not experience global memory pressure.
5. Periodically write to the root memory.reclaim.
Desired outcome:
1. All memcgs have similar pgsteal counts, i.e., stddev(pgsteal)
over mean(pgsteal) is close to 0%.
2. The total pgsteal is close to the total requested through
memory.reclaim, i.e., sum(pgsteal) over sum(requested) is close
to 100%.
Actual outcome [1]:
MGLRU off MGLRU on
stddev(pgsteal) / mean(pgsteal) 75% 20%
sum(pgsteal) / sum(requested) 425% 95%

hour.
This patch (of 8):
The new name lru_gen_folio will be more distinct from the coming
lru_gen_memcg.
