Rust Binder holds incoming transactions in a read-only mmap'd region where it manually manages the pages. These pages are only in use until the incoming transaction is consumed by userspace, but the kernel will keep the pages around for future transactions. Rust Binder registers a shrinker with the kernel so that it can give back these pages if the system comes under memory pressure. Creating a shrinker is done via the ShrinkerBuilder type. Using a builder means that some options (seeks, batch) can be optional, while other options (name, private data) can be mandatory. Unlike seeks/batch, the private data is not set using a `set_private_data` method, as this makes it mandatory to provide a private data pointer. The user specifies the callbacks in use by implementing the Shrinker trait for the type used for the private data. This requires specifying three things: implementations for count_objects and scan_objects, and the pointer type that the private data will be wrapped in. The return values of count_objects and scan_objects are provided using newtypes called CountObjects and ScanObjects respectively. These types prevent the user from e.g. returning SHRINK_STOP from count_objects or returning SHRINK_EMPTY from scan_objects. The CountObjects newtype treats CountObjects::new(0) as "the count is unknown" instead of "the count is zero" for consistency with the way that the C code works today. ShrinkControl is not using Opaque because we need mutable access. Support for numa/memcg aware shrinkers is not included here, as they cannot usefully be used without having list_lru bindings. Support for that will happen as a follow-up. Signed-off-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> --- Dave, I still had a few outstanding questions in the thread on the last version. Most prominently the question on what to do with the builder instead. I didn't change it in this version as I'm not sure which alternative you prefer. --- Changes in v2: - Rename to ShrinkerBuilder / ShrinkerRegistration. - Rename `alloc` to `new`. - Update CountOjects to match the way C does it. - Change ScanObjects::MAX to SHRINK_STOP-1. - Rename gfp_fs to reclaim_fs_allowed, and add reclaim_io_allowed. - Remove max check in set_nr_scanned. - Comment that numa/memcg aware shrinkers aren't supported yet. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240912-shrinker-v1-1-18b7f1253553@google.com --- rust/bindings/bindings_helper.h | 3 + rust/kernel/lib.rs | 1 + rust/kernel/shrinker.rs | 335 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 339 insertions(+) --- base-commit: 8cf0b93919e13d1e8d4466eb4080a4c4d9d66d7b change-id: 20240911-shrinker-f8371af00b68 Best regards,
