[PATCH 27/39] mm: clockpro: nonresident page tracking for CLOCK-Pro

Peter Zijlstra
2006-07-12T14:42:18Z

From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

Track non-resident pages through a simple hashing scheme. This way
the space overhead is limited to 1 u32 per page, or 0.1% space overhead
and lookups are one cache miss.

Aside from seeing whether or not a page was recently evicted, we can
also take a reasonable guess at how many other pages were evicted since
this page was evicted.

NOTE: bucket space also contributes to the total size of the hash.
This way even 64-bit machines with more than 2^32 pages get a fair
chance.

+ *
+ * The pageout code stores a recently evicted page in this cache

+ * and can look it up in the cache by calling recently_evicted()
+ * with the same arguments.
+ *
+ * Note that there is no way to invalidate pages after eg. truncate
+ * or exit, we let the pages fall out of the non-resident set through
+ * normal replacement.
