23 * Double CLOCK lists
24 *
25 * Per node, two clock lists are maintained for file pages: the
26 * inactive and the active list. Freshly faulted pages start out at
27 * the head of the inactive list and page reclaim scans pages from the
28 * tail. Pages that are accessed multiple times on the inactive list
29 * are promoted to the active list, to protect them from reclaim,
30 * whereas active pages are demoted to the inactive list when the
31 * active list grows too big.
32 *
33 * fault ------------------------+
34 * |
35 * +--------------+ | +-------------+
36 * reclaim <- | inactive | <-+-- demotion | active | <--+
37 * +--------------+ +-------------+ |
38 * | |
39 * +-------------- promotion ------------------+
40 *
41 *
42 * Access frequency and refault distance
43 *
44 * A workload is thrashing when its pages are frequently used but they
45 * are evicted from the inactive list every time before another access
46 * would have promoted them to the active list.
47 *
48 * In cases where the average access distance between thrashing pages
49 * is bigger than the size of memory there is nothing that can be
50 * done - the thrashing set could never fit into memory under any
51 * circumstance.
52 *
53 * However, the average access distance could be bigger than the
54 * inactive list, yet smaller than the size of memory. In this case,
55 * the set could fit into memory if it weren't for the currently
56 * active pages - which may be used more, hopefully less frequently:
57 *
58 * +-memory available to cache-+
59 * | |
60 * +-inactive------+-active----+
61 * a b | c d e f g h i | J K L M N |
62 * +---------------+-----------+
63 *
64 * It is prohibitively expensive to accurately track access frequency
65 * of pages. But a reasonable approximation can be made to measure
66 * thrashing on the inactive list, after which refaulting pages can be
67 * activated optimistically to compete with the existing active pages.
68 *
69 * Approximating inactive page access frequency - Observations:
70 *
71 * 1. When a page is accessed for the first time, it is added to the
72 * head of the inactive list, slides every existing inactive page
73 * towards the tail by one slot, and pushes the current tail page
74 * out of memory.
75 *
76 * 2. When a page is accessed for the second time, it is promoted to
77 * the active list, shrinking the inactive list by one slot. This
78 * also slides all inactive pages that were faulted into the cache
79 * more recently than the activated page towards the tail of the
80 * inactive list.
81 *
82 * Thus:
83 *
84 * 1. The sum of evictions and activations between any two points in
85 * time indicate the minimum number of inactive pages accessed in
86 * between.
87 *
88 * 2. Moving one inactive page N page slots towards the tail of the
89 * list requires at least N inactive page accesses.
90 *
91 * Combining these:
92 *
93 * 1. When a page is finally evicted from memory, the number of
94 * inactive pages accessed while the page was in cache is at least
95 * the number of page slots on the inactive list.
96 *
97 * 2. In addition, measuring the sum of evictions and activations (E)
98 * at the time of a page's eviction, and comparing it to another
99 * reading (R) at the time the page faults back into memory tells
100 * the minimum number of accesses while the page was not cached.
101 * This is called the refault distance.
102 *
103 * Because the first access of the page was the fault and the second
104 * access the refault, we combine the in-cache distance with the
105 * out-of-cache distance to get the complete minimum access distance
106 * of this page:
107 *
108 * NR_inactive + (R - E)
109 *
110 * And knowing the minimum access distance of a page, we can easily
111 * tell if the page would be able to stay in cache assuming all page
112 * slots in the cache were available:
113 *
114 * NR_inactive + (R - E) <= NR_inactive + NR_active
115 *
116 * If we have swap we should consider about NR_inactive_anon and
117 * NR_active_anon, so for page cache and anonymous respectively:
118 *
119 * NR_inactive_file + (R - E) <= NR_inactive_file + NR_active_file
120 * + NR_inactive_anon + NR_active_anon
121 *
122 * NR_inactive_anon + (R - E) <= NR_inactive_anon + NR_active_anon
123 * + NR_inactive_file + NR_active_file
124 *
125 * Which can be further simplified to:
126 *
127 * (R - E) <= NR_active_file + NR_inactive_anon + NR_active_anon
128 *
129 * (R - E) <= NR_active_anon + NR_inactive_file + NR_active_file
130 *
131 * Put into words, the refault distance (out-of-cache) can be seen as
132 * a deficit in inactive list space (in-cache). If the inactive list
133 * had (R - E) more page slots, the page would not have been evicted
134 * in between accesses, but activated instead. And on a full system,
135 * the only thing eating into inactive list space is active pages.
136 *
137 *
138 * Refaulting inactive pages
139 *
140 * All that is known about the active list is that the pages have been
141 * accessed more than once in the past. This means that at any given
142 * time there is actually a good chance that pages on the active list
143 * are no longer in active use.
144 *
145 * So when a refault distance of (R - E) is observed and there are at
146 * least (R - E) pages in the userspace workingset, the refaulting page
147 * is activated optimistically in the hope that (R - E) pages are actually
148 * used less frequently than the refaulting page - or even not used at
149 * all anymore.
150 *
151 * That means if inactive cache is refaulting with a suitable refault
152 * distance, we assume the cache workingset is transitioning and put
153 * pressure on the current workingset.
154 *
155 * If this is wrong and demotion kicks in, the pages which are truly
156 * used more frequently will be reactivated while the less frequently
157 * used once will be evicted from memory.
158 *
159 * But if this is right, the stale pages will be pushed out of memory
160 * and the used pages get to stay in cache.
161 *
162 * Refaulting active pages
163 *
164 * If on the other hand the refaulting pages have recently been
165 * deactivated, it means that the active list is no longer protecting
166 * actively used cache from reclaim. The cache is NOT transitioning to
167 * a different workingset; the existing workingset is thrashing in the
168 * space allocated to the page cache.
169 *
170 *
171 * Implementation
172 *
173 * For each node's LRU lists, a counter for inactive evictions and
174 * activations is maintained (node->nonresident_age).
175 *
176 * On eviction, a snapshot of this counter (along with some bits to
177 * identify the node) is stored in the now empty page cache
178 * slot of the evicted page. This is called a shadow entry.
179 *
180 * On cache misses for which there are shadow entries, an eligible
181 * refault distance will immediately activate the refaulting page.
