[RFC PATCH v3 2/2] mm, thp: convert from optimistic swapin collapsing to conservative
From: Ebru Akagunduz
Date: Sat Jul 09 2016 - 20:11:18 EST
To detect whether khugepaged swapin worthwhile, this patch checks
the amount of young pages. There should be at least half of
HPAGE_PMD_NR to swapin.
Signed-off-by: Ebru Akagunduz <ebru.akagunduz@xxxxxxxxx>
Suggested-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>
---
Changes in v2:
- Don't change thp design, only notice amount of young
pages, if khugepaged needs to swapin (Minchan Kim).
- Print out count of referenced pages in
__collapse_huge_page_swapin() (Ebru Akagunduz)
Changes in v3:
- After khugepaged extracted from huge_memory.c,
changes moved to khugepaged.c
