Hi everybody! Recently, there are some efforts to handle system memory pressure. 1) low memory notification - [1] 2) fallocate(VOLATILE) - [2] 3) fadvise(NOREUSE) - [3] For them, I would like to add new LRU list, aka "Ereclaimable" which is opposite of "unevictable". Reclaimable LRU list includes_easy_ reclaimable pages. For example, easy reclaimable pages are following as. 1. invalidated but remained LRU list. 2. pageout pages for reclaim(PG_reclaim pages) 3. fadvise(NOREUSE) 4. fallocate(VOLATILE) Their pages shouldn't stir normal LRU list and compaction might not migrate them, even.
What about other things moving memory like CMA ? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ . Don't email: <a href=mailto:"dont@kvack.org"> email@kvack.org </a>
