[PATCH 1/2] mm: nonresident page tracking
From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Jul 26 2007 - 13:29:19 EST
From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>
Track non-resident pages through a simple hashing scheme. This way
the space overhead is limited to 1 u32 per page, or 0.1% space overhead
and lookups are one cache miss.
Aside from seeing whether or not a page was recently evicted, we can
also take a reasonable guess at how many other pages were evicted since
this page was evicted.
TODO: make the entries unsigned long, currently we're limited to
1^32*NUM_NR*PAGE_SIZE bytes of memory. Event though this would end up
being 1008 TB of memory, I suspect the hash function to go crap at around
4 to 16 TB.

+ * The pageout code stores a recently evicted page in this cache

+ *
+ * Note that there is no way to invalidate pages after eg. truncate
+ * or exit, we let the pages fall out of the non-resident set through
