Christoph Lameter 9614634fe6 [PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/O
It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file
backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and
so the page allocator has to go off-node.

This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and
reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs
when we run out of memory in a zone.

The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is
used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have
almost all pages of the zone allocated.  Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped
pages.  File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the
unmapped pages increase.  After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will
remove it again after only 32 pages.  This cycle is too inefficient and there
are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles.

With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in
zone reclaim pass.  However.  it will take a large number of read and writes
to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again.

The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30
second timeout.

* When a memory allocation must conform to specific limitations (such
* as being suitable for DMA) the caller will pass in hints to the
* allocator in the gfp_mask, in the zone modifier bits. These bits
* are used to select a priority ordered list of memory zones which
* match the requested limits. GFP_ZONEMASK defines which bits within
* the gfp_mask should be considered as zone modifiers. Each valid
* combination of the zone modifier bits has a corresponding list
* of zones (in node_zonelists). Thus for two zone modifiers there
* will be a maximum of 4 (2 ** 2) zonelists, for 3 modifiers there will
* be 8 (2 ** 3) zonelists. GFP_ZONETYPES defines the number of possible
* combinations of zone modifiers in "zone modifier space".
*
* As an optimisation any zone modifier bits which are only valid when
* no other zone modifier bits are set (loners) should be placed in
* the highest order bits of this field. This allows us to reduce the
* extent of the zonelists thus saving space. For example in the case
* of three zone modifier bits, we could require up to eight zonelists.
* If the left most zone modifier is a "loner" then the highest valid
* zonelist would be four allowing us to allocate only five zonelists.
* Use the first form for GFP_ZONETYPES when the left most bit is not
* a "loner", otherwise use the second.

* NOTE! Make sure this matches the zones in <linux/gfp.h>
