[RFC][PATCH][3/4] Add reclaim support (

Balbir Singh
2007-02-24T14:45:48Z

Changelog

1. Move void *container to struct container (in scan_control and vmscan.c
and rmap.c)
2. The last set of patches churned the LRU list, in this release, pages
that can do not belong to the container are moved to a skipped_pages
list. At the end of the isolation they are added back to the zone
list using list_spice_tail (a new function added in list.h).
The disadvantage of this approach is that pages moved to skipped_pages
will not be available for general reclaim. General testing on UML
and a powerpc box showed that the changes worked.

Other alternatives tried
------------------------
a. Do not delete the page from lru list, but that quickly lead to
a panic, since the page was on LRU and we released the lru_lock
in page_in_container

TODO's

1. Try a per-container LRU list, but that would mean expanding the page
struct or special tricks like overloading the LRU pointer. A per-container
list would also make it more difficult to handle shared pages, as a
page will belong to just one container at-a-time.

This patch reclaims pages from a container when the container limit is hit.
The executable is oom'ed only when the container it is running in, is overlimit
and we could not reclaim any pages belonging to the container

A parameter called pushback, controls how much memory is reclaimed when the
limit is hit. It should be easy to expose this knob to user space, but
currently it is hard coded to 20% of the total limit of the container.

isolate_lru_pages() has been modified to isolate pages belonging to a
particular container, so that reclaim code will reclaim only container
pages. For shared pages, reclaim does not unmap all mappings of the page,
it only unmaps those mappings that are over their limit. This ensures
that other containers are not penalized while reclaiming shared pages.

Parallel reclaim per container is not allowed. Each controller has a wait
queue that ensures that only one task per control is running reclaim on
that container.
