[PATCH v7 11/12] mm: multigenerational LRU: debugfs interface

Yu Zhao
2022-02-08T08:20:52Z

Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen for working set estimation and proactive
reclaim. These features are required to optimize job scheduling (bin
packing) in data centers [1][2].

Compared with the page table-based approach and the PFN-based
approach, e.g., mm/damon/[vp]addr.c, this lruvec-based approach has
the following advantages:
1) It offers better choices because it's aware of memcgs, NUMA nodes,
shared mappings and unmapped page cache.
2) It's more scalable because it's O(nr_hot_pages), whereas the
PFN-based approach is O(nr_total_pages).

Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen_full for debugging.
