22  *		Double CLOCK lists
23  *
24  * Per node, two clock lists are maintained for file pages: the
25  * inactive and the active list.  Freshly faulted pages start out at
26  * the head of the inactive list and page reclaim scans pages from the
27  * tail.  Pages that are accessed multiple times on the inactive list
28  * are promoted to the active list, to protect them from reclaim,
29  * whereas active pages are demoted to the inactive list when the
30  * active list grows too big.

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