[PATCH] tmpfs: Insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at first

[PATCH] tmpfs: Insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at first

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to
OOM killer. This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7
(vmscan: evict streaming IO first). Wow, It is 2 years old patch!

Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first. It
mean the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU,
but also reduce anon scanning ratio. Therefore, vmscan will get totally
confusion. It scan almost only file LRU even though the system have
plenty unused tmpfs pages.

Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used by two reasons.
1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.

But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate
anon and file LRU list. then, to insert active list doesn't help
such priotize. (2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page
activation. then to insert inactive list with pte access bit mean
higher priority than to insert active list. Its priority inversion
may lead to uninteded lru chun. but it was already solved by commit
645747462 (vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once).
(Thanks Hannes, you are great!)

Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

Looks like the active_anon and active_file versions have no users
anymore..

Did you intend to remove these two functions?

They do appear to be unused now, but they still make sense and might be
used in the future, perhaps.  It's OK to remove them, but I'm wondering
if it was deliberately included in this patch?

This is for applying Hannes's commnet.

Personally, I don't like the strategy that anyone without me might
use this function in the future. because It often never come.

Makes sense.
OK, please drop current patch at once. I'll post V2.

Is OK, let's keep the change.  I just wanted to check that it wasn't

Thanks - though I don't quite agree with your description: I can't
see why the lru_cache_add_active_anon() was ever justified - that
"active" came in along with the separate anon and file LRU lists.

If you have any worry, can you please share it? I'll test such workload
and fix the issue if necessary. You are expert than me in this area.

?? I've acked the patch: my worry is only with the detail of your
comments on the history - in my view it was always wrong to put on
the active LRU there, and I'm glad that you have now fixed it.

If you really want to test some workload on 2.6.28 to see if it too
works better with your fix, I won't stop you - but I'd much prefer
you to be applying your mind to 2.6.35 and 2.6.36!
