This time I dared to remove the RFC tag. :) In this revision: - Addressed most of Kirill Shutemov's comments. I didn't bother implementing per-level lists, though. It would needlessly complicate the logic, and the gain would be only visible with lots of watchers (which we don't have for our use-cases). But it is always an option to add the feature; - I've split the pach into two: 'shrinker' and 'levels' parts. While the full-fledged userland shrinker is an interesting idea, we don't have any users ready for it, so I won't advocate for it too much. And since at least Kirill has some concerns about it, I don't want the shrinker to block the pressure levels. So, these are now separate. At some point, I'd like to both of them merged, but if anything, let's discuss them separately; - Rebased onto v3.8-rc2. RFC v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/128): - Added documentation, describes APIs and the purpose; - Implemented shrinker interface, this is based on Andrew's idea and supersedes my "balance" level idea; - The shrinker interface comes with a stress-test utility, that is what Andrew was also asking for. A simple app that we can run and see if the thing works as expected; - Added reclaimer's target_mem_cgroup handling; - As promised, added support for multiple listeners, and fixed some other comments on the previous RFC.
