When file refaults are detected and there are many inactive file pages, the system never reclaim anonymous pages, the file pages are dropped aggressively when there are still a lot of cold anonymous pages and system thrashes. This issue impacts the performance of applications with large executable, e.g. chrome. With this patch, when file refault is detected, inactive_list_is_low() always returns true for file pages in get_scan_count() to enable scanning anonymous pages. The problem can be reproduced by the following test program. ---8<--- void fallocate_file(const char *filename, off_t size) { struct stat st; int fd; if (!stat(filename, &st) && st.st_size >= size) return; fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0600); if (fd < 0) { perror("create file"); exit(1); } if (posix_fallocate(fd, 0, size)) { perror("fallocate"); exit(1); } close(fd); } long *alloc_anon(long size) { long *start = malloc(size); memset(start, 1, size); return start; } long access_file(const char *filename, long size, long rounds) { int fd, i; volatile char *start1, *end1, *start2; const int page_size = getpagesize(); long sum = 0; fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { perror("open"); exit(1); } /* * Some applications, e.g. chrome, use a lot of executable file * pages, map some of the pages with PROT_EXEC flag to simulate * the behavior. */ start1 = mmap(NULL, size / 2, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (start1 == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); exit(1); } end1 = start1 + size / 2; start2 = mmap(NULL, size / 2, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, size / 2); if (start2 == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); exit(1); } for (i = 0; i < rounds; ++i) { struct timeval before, after; volatile char *ptr1 = start1, *ptr2 = start2; gettimeofday(&before, NULL); for (; ptr1 < end1; ptr1 += page_size, ptr2 += page_size) sum += *ptr1 + *ptr2; gettimeofday(&after, NULL); printf("File access time, round %d: %f (sec) ", i, (after.tv_sec - before.tv_sec) + (after.tv_usec - before.tv_usec) / 1000000.0); } return sum; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const long MB = 1024 * 1024; long anon_mb, file_mb, file_rounds; const char filename[] = "large"; long *ret1; long ret2; if (argc != 4) { printf("usage: thrash ANON_MB FILE_MB FILE_ROUNDS "); exit(0); } anon_mb = atoi(argv[1]); file_mb = atoi(argv[2]); file_rounds = atoi(argv[3]); fallocate_file(filename, file_mb * MB); printf("Allocate %ld MB anonymous pages ", anon_mb); ret1 = alloc_anon(anon_mb * MB); printf("Access %ld MB file pages ", file_mb); ret2 = access_file(filename, file_mb * MB, file_rounds); printf("Print result to prevent optimization: %ld ", *ret1 + ret2); return 0; } ---8<--- Running the test program on 2GB RAM VM with kernel 5.2.0-rc5, the program fills ram with 2048 MB memory, access a 200 MB file for 10 times.
