From 0ae5e89c60c9eb87da36a2614836bc434b0ec2ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ying Han Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 16:25:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in global background reclaim The global kswapd scans per-zone LRU and reclaims pages regardless of the cgroup. It breaks memory isolation since one cgroup can end up reclaiming pages from another cgroup. Instead we should rely on memcg-aware target reclaim including per-memcg kswapd and soft_limit hierarchical reclaim under memory pressure. In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. This patch is the first step to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work. This is part of the effort which tries to reduce reclaiming pages in global LRU in memcg. The per-memcg background reclaim patchset further enhances the per-cgroup targetting reclaim, which I should have V4 posted shortly. Try running multiple memory intensive workloads within seperate memcgs. Watch the counters of soft_steal in memory.stat. $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep 'soft' soft_steal 240000 soft_scan 240000 total_soft_steal 240000 total_soft_scan 240000 This patch: In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. We would like to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work. Also, we need to make the memory pressure balanced across per-memcg zones, like the logic vm-core. This patch is the first step where we start with counting the nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit reclaim into the global scan_control.
