From 31d8fcac00fcf4007f3921edc69ab4dcb3abcd4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2020 20:30:31 -0700 Subject: mm: workingset: age nonresident information alongside anonymous pages Patch series "fix for "mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashing" patchset" This patchset fixes some problems of the patchset, "mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashing", which is now merged on the mainline. Patch "mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix" is the result of discussion with Johannes. See following link. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200520232525.798933-6-hannes@cmpxchg.org And, the other two are minor things which are found when I try to rebase my patchset. This patch (of 3): After ("mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix"), we compare refault distances to active_file + anon. But age of the non-resident information is only driven by the file LRU. As a result, we may overestimate the recency of any incoming refaults and activate them too eagerly, causing unnecessary LRU churn in certain situations. Make anon aging drive nonresident age as well to address that.
