While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they never release a token. Why? Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting. And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting makes no swap token owner. Thus such above intermittent running process often get a token. And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path. Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap token priority never be decreased. That's obviously undesirable. This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging. It only be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load) Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
