Subject: [PATCH v14 11/14] mm: multi-gen LRU: thrashing prevention
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2022 01:13:30 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220815071332.627393-12-yuzhao@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220815071332.627393-1-yuzhao@google.com>
Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms for thrashing prevention, as
requested by many desktop users [1].
When set to value N, it prevents the working set of N milliseconds
from getting evicted. The OOM killer is triggered if this working set
cannot be kept in memory. Based on the average human detectable lag
(~100ms), N=1000 usually eliminates intolerable lags due to thrashing.
Larger values like N=3000 make lags less noticeable at the risk of
premature OOM kills.
Compared with the size-based approach [2], this time-based approach
has the following advantages:
1. It is easier to configure because it is agnostic to applications
and memory sizes.
2. It is more reliable because it is directly wired to the OOM killer.
