4 Subject: [PATCH 01/19] UPSTREAM: mm: multi-gen LRU: rename lru_gen_struct to
7 Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU", v3.
12 An memcg LRU is a per-node LRU of memcgs. It is also an LRU of LRUs,
13 since each node and memcg combination has an LRU of folios (see
16 Its goal is to improve the scalability of global reclaim, which is
17 critical to system-wide memory overcommit in data centers. Note that
18 memcg reclaim is currently out of scope.
20 Its memory bloat is a pointer to each lruvec and negligible to each
21 pglist_data. In terms of traversing memcgs during global reclaim, it
22 improves the best-case complexity from O(n) to O(1) and does not affect
23 the worst-case complexity O(n). Therefore, on average, it has a sublinear
24 complexity in contrast to the current linear complexity.
26 The basic structure of an memcg LRU can be understood by an analogy to
27 the active/inactive LRU (of folios):
28 1. It has the young and the old (generations), i.e., the counterparts
29 to the active and the inactive;
30 2. The increment of max_seq triggers promotion, i.e., the counterpart
32 3. Other events trigger similar operations, e.g., offlining an memcg
33 triggers demotion, i.e., the counterpart to deactivation.
35 In terms of global reclaim, it has two distinct features:
36 1. Sharding, which allows each thread to start at a random memcg (in
37 the old generation) and improves parallelism;
38 2. Eventual fairness, which allows direct reclaim to bail out at will
39 and reduces latency without affecting fairness over some time.
41 The commit message in patch 6 details the workflow:
42 https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221222041905.2431096-7-yuzhao@google.com/
44 The following is a simple test to quickly verify its effectiveness.
47 1. Create multiple memcgs.
48 2. Each memcg contains a job (fio).
49 3. All jobs access the same amount of memory randomly.
50 4. The system does not experience global memory pressure.
51 5. Periodically write to the root memory.reclaim.
54 1. All memcgs have similar pgsteal counts, i.e., stddev(pgsteal)
55 over mean(pgsteal) is close to 0%.
56 2. The total pgsteal is close to the total requested through
57 memory.reclaim, i.e., sum(pgsteal) over sum(requested) is close
62 stddev(pgsteal) / mean(pgsteal) 75% 20%
63 sum(pgsteal) / sum(requested) 425% 95%
