| Series | [v5] mm: vmpressure: don't count proactive reclaim in vmpressure | expand |
Ugh I forgot the changelog and Shakeel's Ack. Sorry Andrew.

Changes in v4: - Removed unneeded reclaim_options local variables (Andrew). Changes in v3: - Limited the vmpressure change to memory.reclaim, dropped psi changes, updated changelog to reflect new behavior (Michal, Shakeel) Changes in v2: - Removed unnecessary initializations to zero (Andrew). - Separate declarations and initializations when it causes line wrapping (Andrew). > --- > Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst | 7 +++++++ > include/linux/swap.h | 5 ++++- > mm/memcontrol.c | 24 +++++++++++++--------- > mm/vmscan.c | 27 ++++++++++++++++--------- > 4 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst > index 176298f2f4de..72847462c66d 100644 > --- a/Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst > +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst > @@ -1229,6 +1229,13 @@ PAGE_SIZE multiple when read back. > the target cgroup.

memory.reclaim is a cgroup v2 interface that allows users to proactively reclaim memory from a memcg, without real memory pressure. Reclaim operations invoke vmpressure, which is used: (a) To notify userspace of reclaim efficiency in cgroup v1, and (b) As a signal for a memcg being under memory pressure for networking (see mem_cgroup_under_socket_pressure()). For (a), vmpressure notifications in v1 are not affected by this change since memory.reclaim is a v2 feature. For (b), the effects of the vmpressure signal (according to Shakeel [1]) are as follows: 1. Reducing send and receive buffers of the current socket. 2. May drop packets on the rx path. 3. May throttle current thread on the tx path. Since proactive reclaim is invoked directly by userspace, not by memory pressure, it makes sense not to throttle networking. Hence, this change makes sure that proactive reclaim caused by memory.reclaim does not trigger vmpressure.
