[patch 14/19] SHM_LOCKED pages are nonreclaimable

[linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org]

[-- Attachment #1: noreclaim-03-SHM_LOCKed-pages-are-nonreclaimable.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 8017 bytes --]

V2 -> V3:
+ rebase to 23-mm1 atop RvR's split LRU series.
+ Use scan_mapping_noreclaim_page() on unlock.  See below.

V1 -> V2:
+  modify to use reworked 'scan_all_zones_noreclaim_pages()'
   See 'TODO' below - still pending.

While working with Nick Piggin's mlock patches, I noticed that
shmem segments locked via shmctl(SHM_LOCKED) were not being handled.
SHM_LOCKed pages work like ramdisk pages--the writeback function
just redirties the page so that it can't be reclaimed.  Deal with
these using the same approach as for ram disk pages.

Use the AS_NORECLAIM flag to mark address_space of SHM_LOCKed
shared memory regions as non-reclaimable.  Then these pages
will be culled off the normal LRU lists during vmscan.

Add new wrapper function to clear the mapping's noreclaim state
when/if shared memory segment is munlocked.

Add 'scan_mapping_noreclaim_page()' to mm/vmscan.c to scan all
pages in the shmem segment's mapping [struct address_space] for
reclaimability now that they're no longer locked.  If so, move
them to the appropriate zone lru list.

Changes depend on [CONFIG_]NORECLAIM.
