[PATCH 0/2] mm/madvise: teach MADV_PAGEOUT about swap cache

[Dave Hansen]

MADV_PAGEOUT ignores swap cache pages which are not mapped
into the calling process.  That's nasty because it means that
some of the most easily reclaimable pages are inaccessible to
a mechanism designed to reclaim pages.

This all turned out to be a bit nastier and more complicated
than I would have liked.  This has been lightly tested, but I
did pass a normal barrage of compile tests.

I rigged up a little test program to try to create these
situations.  Basically, if the parent "reader" RSS changes
in response to MADV_PAGEOUT actions in the child, there is
a problem.

I'd add this to selftests, but it *requires* swap to work
and its parsing of /proc/self/maps is quite icky.

P.S. mincore() really doesn't work at all in this situation,
probably something we need to look at too.
