In systems configured with insufficient spare memory for those pages, it can cause a memory pressure situation. However, finding the optimal amount of the spare memory is challenging for large systems having dynamic resource utilization patterns. Also, such a static configuration might lack flexibility. To mitigate such problems, this patchset adds a memory reclaim callback to 'xenbus_driver' (patch 1) and use it to mitigate the problem in 'xen-blkback' (patch 2). The third patch is a trivial cleanup of variable names. Base Version ------------ This patch is based on v5.4. A complete tree is also available at my public git repo: https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/blkback_squeezing_v7 Patch History ------------- Changes from v6 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20191211042428.5961-1-sjpark@amazon.de/) - Remove more unnecessary prefixes (suggested by Roger Pau Monné) - Constify a variable (suggested by Roger Pau Monné) - Rename 'reclaim' into 'reclaim_memory' (suggested by Roger Pau Monné) - More wordsmith of the commit message (suggested by Roger Pau Monné) Changes from v5 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20191210080628.5264-1-sjpark@amazon.de/) - Wordsmith the commit messages (suggested by Roger Pau Monné) - Change the reclaim callback return type (suggested by Roger Pau Monné) - Change the type of the blkback squeeze duration variable (suggested by Roger Pau Monné) - Add a patch for removal of unnecessary static variable name prefixes (suggested by Roger Pau Monné) - Fix checkpatch.pl warnings Changes from v4 (https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/20191209194305.20828-1-sjpark@amazon.com/) - Remove domain id parameter from the callback (suggested by Juergen Gross) - Rename xen-blkback module parameter (suggested by Stefan Nuernburger) Changes from v3 (https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/20191209085839.21215-1-sjpark@amazon.com/) - Add general callback in xen_driver and use it (suggested by Juergen Gross) Changes from v2 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/af195033-23d5-38ed-b73b-f6e2e3b34541@amazon.com) - Rename the module parameter and variables for brevity (aggressive shrinking -> squeezing) Changes from v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/20191204113419.2298-1-sjpark@amazon.com/) - Adjust the description to not use the term, `arbitrarily` (suggested by Paul Durrant) - Specify time unit of the duration in the parameter description, (suggested by Maximilian Heyne) - Change default aggressive shrinking duration from 1ms to 10ms - Merge two patches into one single patch SeongJae Park (2): xenbus/backend: Add memory pressure handler callback xen/blkback: Squeeze page pools if a memory pressure is detected drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c | 23 +++++++++++++++-- drivers/block/xen-blkback/common.h | 1 + drivers/block/xen-blkback/xenbus.c | 3 ++- drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_probe_backend.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++ include/xen/xenbus.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 56 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1
