Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/mglru: yield the lru_lock earlier in fill/drain_evictable()
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 10:01:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113020132.274013-1-hui.zhu@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Hui Zhu <zhuhui@kylinos.cn>
lru_gen_change_state() migrates folios in batches of up to
MAX_LRU_BATCH (4096) folios under lruvec_lock_irq(). A full batch
keeps local interrupts off for up to about a millisecond, and CPUs
contending for the same lru_lock spin with interrupts disabled for
that long.
The caller already reschedules between batches, but a batch itself
only ends after 4096 folios. Stop it early when a resched is
pending, or when the lock has waiters and the current hold has moved
at least MIN_LRU_BATCH folios; the caller restarts where it left off.
TIF_NEED_RESCHED can still be set with interrupts off: a remote
resched_curr() sets it directly in the target's thread_info. The
minimum batch avoids lock bouncing under sustained contention, while
a waiter now waits ~15us instead of ~1ms.
This follows lru_gen_look_around() in this file, security/keys/gc.c
and jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), and commit 6e9be217a3ce ("mm/mglru:
use a smaller batch for reclaim").
