mm: vmscan: limit the range of LRU type balancing (d483a5dd) · Commits · 戴 / test

When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant latencies until the scanner has caught up. Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of the lists need to adjust.
