Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] mm: vmscan: Reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress
Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2021 20:58:05 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211128205805.466bf311@mail.inbox.lv> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <252cd5acd9bf6588ec87ce02884925c737b6a8b7.camel@gmx.de>

I tested this patch [1] on top of the 2nd Mel's patch [2].

Test case:
Running firefox with youtube tab (basic desktop workload) and starting
$ for i in {1..10}; do tail /dev/zero; done
-- 1. with noswap and 2. with SwapTotal > MemTotal and swappiness=0.


- With noswap

There are still some freezes, although in some cases there are no significant stalls. 

13-17s average stall vs 0.4s with 5.15
