[PATCH 07/14] mm: vmscan: drop unnecessary div0 avoidance rounding in get_scan_count()

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Wed May 20 2020 - 19:26:18 EST


When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file
LRU lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To
avoid div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so:

anon_prio = swappiness;
file_prio = 200 - anon_prio;

[...]

/*
* The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely
* proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on
* each list that were recently referenced and in active use.
*/
ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1);
ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1;

fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1);
fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1;
spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock);

fraction[0] = ap;
fraction[1] = fp;
denominator = ap + fp + 1;

While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap +
fp to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must
still add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in
there, is always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the
other one can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1.
