Subject: [PATCH v6] mm, drm/i915: mark pinned shmemfs pages as unevictable
Date:   Tue,  6 Nov 2018 17:30:59 +0800
Message-Id: <20181106093100.71829-1-vovoy@chromium.org>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The i915 driver uses shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem
objects. These shmemfs pages can be pinned (increased ref count) by
shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). When a lot of pages are pinned, vmscan
wastes a lot of time scanning these pinned pages. In some extreme case,
all pages in the inactive anon lru are pinned, and only the inactive
anon lru is scanned due to inactive_ratio, the system cannot swap and
invokes the oom-killer. Mark these pinned pages as unevictable to speed
up vmscan.

Export pagevec API check_move_unevictable_pages().

This patch was inspired by Chris Wilson's change [1].

Changes for v6:
 Tweak the acked-by.

Changes for v5:
 Modify doc and comments. Remove the ifdef surrounding
 check_move_unevictable_pages.

Changes for v4:
 Export pagevec API check_move_unevictable_pages().

Changes for v3:
 Use check_move_lru_page instead of shmem_unlock_mapping to move pages
 to appropriate lru lists.

Changes for v2:
 Squashed the two patches.
