+Multigenerational LRU
+=====================
+
+Quick start
+===========
+Build configurations
+--------------------
+:Required: Set ``CONFIG_LRU_GEN=y``.
+
+:Optional: Set ``CONFIG_LRU_GEN_ENABLED=y`` to enable the
+ multigenerational LRU by default.
+
+Runtime configurations
+----------------------
+:Required: Write ``y`` to ``/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enable`` if
+ ``CONFIG_LRU_GEN_ENABLED=n``.
+
+This file accepts different values to enabled or disabled the
+following features:
+
+====== ========
+Values Features
+====== ========
+0x0001 the multigenerational LRU
+0x0002 clear the accessed bit in leaf page table entries **in large
+       batches**, when MMU sets it (e.g., on x86)
+0x0004 clear the accessed bit in non-leaf page table entries **as
+       well**, when MMU sets it (e.g., on x86)
+[yYnN] apply to all the features above
+====== ========
+
+E.g.,
+::
+
+    echo y >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
+    cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
+    0x0007
+    echo 5 >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
+    cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
+    0x0005
+
+Most users should enable or disable all the features unless some of
+them have unforeseen side effects.
+
+Recipes
+=======
+Personal computers
+------------------
+Personal computers are more sensitive to thrashing because it can
+cause janks (lags when rendering UI) and negatively impact user
+experience. The multigenerational LRU offers thrashing prevention to
+the majority of laptop and desktop users who don't have oomd.
+
+:Thrashing prevention: Write ``N`` to
+ ``/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms`` to prevent the working set of
+ ``N`` milliseconds from getting evicted. The OOM killer is triggered
+ if this working set can't be kept in memory. Based on the average
+ human detectable lag (~100ms), ``N=1000`` usually eliminates
+ intolerable janks due to thrashing. Larger values like ``N=3000``
+ make janks less noticeable at the risk of premature OOM kills.
+
+Data centers
+------------
+Data centers want to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) to improve
+memory utilizations. Job schedulers need to estimate whether a server
+can allocate a certain amount of memory for a new job, and this step
+is known as working set estimation, which doesn't impact the existing
+jobs running on this server. They also want to attempt freeing some
+cold memory from the existing jobs, and this step is known as proactive
+reclaim, which improves the chance of landing a new job successfully.
+
+:Optional: Increase ``CONFIG_NR_LRU_GENS`` to support more generations
+ for working set estimation and proactive reclaim.
+
+:Debugfs interface: ``/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen`` has the following
+ format:
+ ::
+
+   memcg  memcg_id  memcg_path
+     node  node_id
+       min_gen  birth_time  anon_size  file_size
+       ...
+       max_gen  birth_time  anon_size  file_size
+
+ ``min_gen`` is the oldest generation number and ``max_gen`` is the
+ youngest generation number. ``birth_time`` is in milliseconds.
+ ``anon_size`` and ``file_size`` are in pages. The youngest generation
+ represents the group of the MRU pages and the oldest generation
+ represents the group of the LRU pages. For working set estimation, a
+ job scheduler writes to this file at a certain time interval to
+ create new generations, and it ranks available servers based on the
+ sizes of their cold memory defined by this time interval. For
+ proactive reclaim, a job scheduler writes to this file before it
+ tries to land a new job, and if it fails to materialize the cold
+ memory without impacting the existing jobs, it retries on the next
+ server according to the ranking result.
+
+ This file accepts commands in the following subsections. Multiple
+ command lines are supported, so does concatenation with delimiters
+ ``,`` and ``;``.
+
+ ``/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen_full`` contains additional stats for
+ debugging.
+
+:Working set estimation: Write ``+ memcg_id node_id max_gen
+ [can_swap [full_scan]]`` to ``/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen`` to invoke
+ the aging. It scans PTEs for hot pages and promotes them to the
+ youngest generation ``max_gen``. Then it creates a new generation
+ ``max_gen+1``. Set ``can_swap`` to ``1`` to scan for hot anon pages
+ when swap is off. Set ``full_scan`` to ``0`` to reduce the overhead
+ as well as the coverage when scanning PTEs.
+
+:Proactive reclaim: Write ``- memcg_id node_id min_gen [swappiness
+ [nr_to_reclaim]]`` to ``/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen`` to invoke the
+ eviction. It evicts generations less than or equal to ``min_gen``.
+ ``min_gen`` should be less than ``max_gen-1`` as ``max_gen`` and
+ ``max_gen-1`` aren't fully aged and therefore can't be evicted. Use
+ ``nr_to_reclaim`` to limit the number of pages to evict.

+=====================
+Multigenerational LRU
+=====================
+
+Design overview
+===============
+The design objectives are:
+
+* Good representation of access recency
+* Try to profit from spatial locality
+* Fast paths to make obvious choices
+* Simple self-correcting heuristics
+
+The representation of access recency is at the core of all LRU
+implementations. In the multigenerational LRU, each generation
+represents a group of pages with similar access recency (a timestamp).
+Generations establish a common frame of reference and therefore help
+make better choices, e.g., between different memcgs on a computer or
+different computers in a data center (for job scheduling).
+
+Exploiting spatial locality improves the efficiency when gathering the
+accessed bit. A rmap walk targets a single page and doesn't try to
+profit from discovering a young PTE. A page table walk can sweep all
+the young PTEs in an address space, but its search space can be too
+large to make a profit. The key is to optimize both methods and use
+them in combination.
+
+Fast paths reduce code complexity and runtime overhead. Unmapped pages
+don't require TLB flushes; clean pages don't require writeback. These
+facts are only helpful when other conditions, e.g., access recency,
+are similar. With generations as a common frame of reference,
+additional factors stand out. But obvious choices might not be good
+choices; thus self-correction is required.
+
+The benefits of simple self-correcting heuristics are self-evident.
+Again, with generations as a common frame of reference, this becomes
+attainable. Specifically, pages in the same generation are categorized
+based on additional factors, and a feedback loop statistically
+compares the refault percentages across those categories and infers
+which of them are better choices.
+
+The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based
+on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels:
+
+* Accesses through page tables
+* Accesses through file descriptors
+
+The protection of the former channel is by design stronger because:
+
+1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former
+   channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit.
+2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB
+   flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit.
+3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because
+   applications usually don't prepare themselves for major page faults
+   like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications commonly use
+   dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking the rendering threads.
+
+There are also two access patterns:
+
+* Accesses exhibiting temporal locality
+* Accesses not exhibiting temporal locality
+
+For the reasons listed above, the former channel is assumed to follow
+the former pattern unless ``VM_SEQ_READ`` or ``VM_RAND_READ`` is
+present, and the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter
+pattern unless outlying refaults have been observed.
+
+Workflow overview
+=================
+Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each
+``lruvec``. The youngest generation number is stored in
+``lrugen->max_seq`` for both anon and file types as they are aged on
+an equal footing. The oldest generation numbers are stored in
+``lrugen->min_seq[]`` separately for anon and file types as clean
+file pages can be evicted regardless of swap constraints. These three
+variables are monotonically increasing.
+
+Generation numbers are truncated into ``order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1)``
+bits in order to fit into the gen counter in ``folio->flags``. Each
+truncated generation number is an index to ``lrugen->lists[]``. The
+sliding window technique is used to track at least ``MIN_NR_GENS`` and
+at most ``MAX_NR_GENS`` generations. The gen counter stores
+``(seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1`` while a page is on one of ``lrugen->lists[]``;
+otherwise it stores zero.
+
+Each generation is divided into multiple tiers. Tiers represent
+different ranges of numbers of accesses through file descriptors.
+A page accessed ``N`` times through file descriptors is in tier
+``order_base_2(N)``. In contrast to moving across generations which
+requires the LRU lock, moving across tiers only requires operations on
+``folio->flags`` and therefore has a negligible cost. A feedback loop
+modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over all the tiers
+from anon and file types and decides which tiers from which types to
+evict or promote.
+
+There are two conceptually independent processes (as in the
+manufacturing process): the aging and the eviction. They form a
+closed-loop system, i.e., the page reclaim.
+
+Aging
+-----
+The aging produces young generations. Given an ``lruvec``, it
+increments ``max_seq`` when ``max_seq-min_seq+1`` approaches
+``MIN_NR_GENS``. The aging promotes hot pages to the youngest
+generation when it finds them accessed through page tables; the
+demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it increments
+``max_seq``. The aging uses page table walks and rmap walks to find
+young PTEs. For the former, it iterates ``lruvec_memcg()->mm_list``
+and calls ``walk_page_range()`` with each ``mm_struct`` on this list
+to scan PTEs. On finding a young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and
+updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to
+``(max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1``. After each iteration of this list, it
+increments ``max_seq``. For the latter, when the eviction walks the
+rmap and finds a young PTE, the aging scans the adjacent PTEs and
+follows the same steps.
+
+Eviction
+--------
+The eviction consumes old generations. Given an ``lruvec``, it
+increments ``min_seq`` when ``lrugen->lists[]`` indexed by
+``min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS`` becomes empty. To select a type and a tier to
+evict from, it first compares ``min_seq[]`` to select the older type.
+If they are equal, it selects the type whose first tier has a lower
+refault percentage. The first tier contains single-use unmapped clean
+pages, which are the best bet. The eviction sorts a page according to
+the gen counter if the aging has found this page accessed through page
+tables and updated the gen counter. It also promotes a page to the
+next generation, i.e., ``min_seq+1`` rather than ``max_seq``, if this
+page was accessed multiple times through file descriptors and the
+feedback loop has detected outlying refaults from the tier this page
+is in, using the first tier as a baseline.
+
+Summary
+-------
+The multigenerational LRU can be disassembled into the following
+components:
+
+* Generations
+* Page table walks
+* Rmap walks
+* Bloom filters
+* PID controller
+
+Between the aging and the eviction (processes), the latter drives the
+former by the sliding window over generations. Within the aging, rmap
+walks drive page table walks by inserting hot dense page tables to the
+Bloom filters. Within the eviction, the PID controller uses refaults
+as the feedback to turn on or off the eviction of certain types and
+tiers.
