19 * Double CLOCK lists
20 *
1e6b1085 21 * Per node, two clock lists are maintained for file pages: the
a528910e
JW
22 * inactive and the active list. Freshly faulted pages start out at
23 * the head of the inactive list and page reclaim scans pages from the
24 * tail. Pages that are accessed multiple times on the inactive list
25 * are promoted to the active list, to protect them from reclaim,
26 * whereas active pages are demoted to the inactive list when the
27 * active list grows too big.
28 *

38 * Access frequency and refault distance
39 *
40 * A workload is thrashing when its pages are frequently used but they
41 * are evicted from the inactive list every time before another access
42 * would have promoted them to the active list.
43 *
44 * In cases where the average access distance between thrashing pages
45 * is bigger than the size of memory there is nothing that can be
46 * done - the thrashing set could never fit into memory under any
47 * circumstance.
48 *
49 * However, the average access distance could be bigger than the
50 * inactive list, yet smaller than the size of memory. In this case,
51 * the set could fit into memory if it weren't for the currently
52 * active pages - which may be used more, hopefully less frequently:
53 *
54 * +-memory available to cache-+
55 * | |
56 * +-inactive------+-active----+
57 * a b | c d e f g h i | J K L M N |
58 * +---------------+-----------+
59 *
60 * It is prohibitively expensive to accurately track access frequency
61 * of pages. But a reasonable approximation can be made to measure
62 * thrashing on the inactive list, after which refaulting pages can be
63 * activated optimistically to compete with the existing active pages.
64 *
65 * Approximating inactive page access frequency - Observations:
66 *
67 * 1. When a page is accessed for the first time, it is added to the
68 * head of the inactive list, slides every existing inactive page
69 * towards the tail by one slot, and pushes the current tail page
70 * out of memory.
71 *
72 * 2. When a page is accessed for the second time, it is promoted to
73 * the active list, shrinking the inactive list by one slot. This
74 * also slides all inactive pages that were faulted into the cache
75 * more recently than the activated page towards the tail of the
76 * inactive list.
77 *
78 * Thus:
79 *
80 * 1. The sum of evictions and activations between any two points in
81 * time indicate the minimum number of inactive pages accessed in
82 * between.
83 *
84 * 2. Moving one inactive page N page slots towards the tail of the
85 * list requires at least N inactive page accesses.
86 *
87 * Combining these:
88 *
89 * 1. When a page is finally evicted from memory, the number of
90 * inactive pages accessed while the page was in cache is at least
91 * the number of page slots on the inactive list.
92 *
93 * 2. In addition, measuring the sum of evictions and activations (E)
94 * at the time of a page's eviction, and comparing it to another
95 * reading (R) at the time the page faults back into memory tells
96 * the minimum number of accesses while the page was not cached.
97 * This is called the refault distance.
98 *
99 * Because the first access of the page was the fault and the second
100 * access the refault, we combine the in-cache distance with the
101 * out-of-cache distance to get the complete minimum access distance
102 * of this page:
103 *
104 * NR_inactive + (R - E)
105 *
106 * And knowing the minimum access distance of a page, we can easily
107 * tell if the page would be able to stay in cache assuming all page
108 * slots in the cache were available:
109 *
110 * NR_inactive + (R - E) <= NR_inactive + NR_active
111 *
112 * which can be further simplified to
113 *
114 * (R - E) <= NR_active
115 *
116 * Put into words, the refault distance (out-of-cache) can be seen as
117 * a deficit in inactive list space (in-cache). If the inactive list
118 * had (R - E) more page slots, the page would not have been evicted
119 * in between accesses, but activated instead. And on a full system,
120 * the only thing eating into inactive list space is active pages.
121 *
122 *
123 * Activating refaulting pages
124 *
125 * All that is known about the active list is that the pages have been
126 * accessed more than once in the past. This means that at any given
127 * time there is actually a good chance that pages on the active list
128 * are no longer in active use.
129 *
130 * So when a refault distance of (R - E) is observed and there are at
131 * least (R - E) active pages, the refaulting page is activated
132 * optimistically in the hope that (R - E) active pages are actually
133 * used less frequently than the refaulting page - or even not used at
134 * all anymore.
135 *
136 * If this is wrong and demotion kicks in, the pages which are truly
137 * used more frequently will be reactivated while the less frequently
138 * used once will be evicted from memory.
139 *
140 * But if this is right, the stale pages will be pushed out of memory
141 * and the used pages get to stay in cache.
142 *
143 *
144 * Implementation
145 *
1e6b1085
MG
146 * For each node's file LRU lists, a counter for inactive evictions
147 * and activations is maintained (node->inactive_age).
a528910e
JW
148 *
149 * On eviction, a snapshot of this counter (along with some bits to
1e6b1085 150 * identify the node) is stored in the now empty page cache radix tree
a528910e
JW
151 * slot of the evicted page. This is called a shadow entry.
152 *
153 * On cache misses for which there are shadow entries, an eligible
154 * refault distance will immediately activate the refaulting page.
