* Per node, two clock lists are maintained for file pages: the

2014-04-03 15:47:51 -06:00
|
|
|
* inactive and the active list. Freshly faulted pages start out at
|
|
|
|
* the head of the inactive list and page reclaim scans pages from the
|
|
|
|
* tail. Pages that are accessed multiple times on the inactive list
|
|
|
|
* are promoted to the active list, to protect them from reclaim,
|
|
|
|
* whereas active pages are demoted to the inactive list when the

* Access frequency and refault distance
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* A workload is thrashing when its pages are frequently used but they
|
|
|
|
* are evicted from the inactive list every time before another access
|
|
|
|
* would have promoted them to the active list.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* In cases where the average access distance between thrashing pages
|
|
|
|
* is bigger than the size of memory there is nothing that can be
|
|
|
|
* done - the thrashing set could never fit into memory under any
|
|
|
|
* circumstance.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* However, the average access distance could be bigger than the
|
|
|
|
* inactive list, yet smaller than the size of memory. In this case,
|
|
|
|
* the set could fit into memory if it weren't for the currently
|
|
|
|
* active pages - which may be used more, hopefully less frequently:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* +-memory available to cache-+
|
|
|
|
* | |
|
|
|
|
* +-inactive------+-active----+
|
|
|
|
* a b | c d e f g h i | J K L M N |
|
|
|
|
* +---------------+-----------+
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* It is prohibitively expensive to accurately track access frequency
|
|
|
|
* of pages. But a reasonable approximation can be made to measure
|
|
|
|
* thrashing on the inactive list, after which refaulting pages can be
|
|
|
|
* activated optimistically to compete with the existing active pages.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Approximating inactive page access frequency - Observations:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 1. When a page is accessed for the first time, it is added to the
|
|
|
|
* head of the inactive list, slides every existing inactive page
|
|
|
|
* towards the tail by one slot, and pushes the current tail page
|
|
|
|
* out of memory.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 2. When a page is accessed for the second time, it is promoted to
|
|
|
|
* the active list, shrinking the inactive list by one slot. This
|
|
|
|
* also slides all inactive pages that were faulted into the cache
|
|
|
|
* more recently than the activated page towards the tail of the
|
|
|
|
* inactive list.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Thus:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 1. The sum of evictions and activations between any two points in
|
|
|
|
* time indicate the minimum number of inactive pages accessed in
|
|
|
|
* between.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 2. Moving one inactive page N page slots towards the tail of the
|
|
|
|
* list requires at least N inactive page accesses.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Combining these:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 1. When a page is finally evicted from memory, the number of
|
|
|
|
* inactive pages accessed while the page was in cache is at least
|
|
|
|
* the number of page slots on the inactive list.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 2. In addition, measuring the sum of evictions and activations (E)
|
|
|
|
* at the time of a page's eviction, and comparing it to another
|
|
|
|
* reading (R) at the time the page faults back into memory tells
|
|
|
|
* the minimum number of accesses while the page was not cached.
|
|
|
|
* This is called the refault distance.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Because the first access of the page was the fault and the second
|
|
|
|
* access the refault, we combine the in-cache distance with the
|
|
|
|
* out-of-cache distance to get the complete minimum access distance
|
|
|
|
* of this page:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* NR_inactive + (R - E)
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* And knowing the minimum access distance of a page, we can easily
|
|
|
|
* tell if the page would be able to stay in cache assuming all page
|
|
|
|
* slots in the cache were available:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* NR_inactive + (R - E) <= NR_inactive + NR_active
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* which can be further simplified to
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* (R - E) <= NR_active
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Put into words, the refault distance (out-of-cache) can be seen as
|
|
|
|
* a deficit in inactive list space (in-cache). If the inactive list
|
|
|
|
* had (R - E) more page slots, the page would not have been evicted
|
|
|
|
* in between accesses, but activated instead. And on a full system,
|
|
|
|
* the only thing eating into inactive list space is active pages.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Activating refaulting pages
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* All that is known about the active list is that the pages have been
|
|
|
|
* accessed more than once in the past. This means that at any given
|
|
|
|
* time there is actually a good chance that pages on the active list
|
|
|
|
* are no longer in active use.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* So when a refault distance of (R - E) is observed and there are at
|
|
|
|
* least (R - E) active pages, the refaulting page is activated
|
|
|
|
* optimistically in the hope that (R - E) active pages are actually
|
|
|
|
* used less frequently than the refaulting page - or even not used at
|
|
|
|
* all anymore.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* If this is wrong and demotion kicks in, the pages which are truly
|
|
|
|
* used more frequently will be reactivated while the less frequently
|
|
|
|
* used once will be evicted from memory.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* But if this is right, the stale pages will be pushed out of memory
|
|
|
|
* and the used pages get to stay in cache.

2016-07-28 16:46:08 -06:00
|
|
|
* For each node's file LRU lists, a counter for inactive evictions
|
|
|
|
* and activations is maintained (node->inactive_age).
|
2014-04-03 15:47:51 -06:00
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* On eviction, a snapshot of this counter (along with some bits to
|
2016-07-28 16:46:08 -06:00
|
|
|
* identify the node) is stored in the now empty page cache radix tree
|
2014-04-03 15:47:51 -06:00
|
|
|
* slot of the evicted page. This is called a shadow entry.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* On cache misses for which there are shadow entries, an eligible
|
|
|
|
* refault distance will immediately activate the refaulting page.

mm: workingset: eviction buckets for bigmem/lowbit machines
For per-cgroup thrash detection, we need to store the memcg ID inside
the radix tree cookie as well. However, on 32 bit that doesn't leave
enough bits for the eviction timestamp to cover the necessary range of
recently evicted pages. The radix tree entry would look like this:
[ RADIX_TREE_EXCEPTIONAL(2) | ZONEID(2) | MEMCGID(16) | EVICTION(12) ]
12 bits means 4096 pages, means 16M worth of recently evicted pages.
But refaults are actionable up to distances covering half of memory. To
not miss refaults, we have to stretch out the range at the cost of how
precisely we can tell when a page was evicted. This way we can shave
off lower bits from the eviction timestamp until the necessary range is
covered. E.g. grouping evictions into 1M buckets (256 pages) will
stretch the longest representable refault distance to 4G.
This patch implements eviction buckets that are automatically sized
according to the available bits and the necessary refault range, in
preparation for per-cgroup thrash detection.
The maximum actionable distance is currently half of memory, but to
support memory hotplug of up to 200% of boot-time memory, we size the
buckets to cover double the distance. Beyond that, thrashing won't be
detectable anymore.
During boot, the kernel will print out the exact parameters, like so:
[ 0.113929] workingset: timestamp_bits=12 max_order=18 bucket_order=6
In this example, there are 12 radix entry bits available for the
eviction timestamp, to cover a maximum distance of 2^18 pages (this is a
1G machine). Consequently, evictions must be grouped into buckets of
2^6 pages, or 256K.

mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check
Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats
Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"
This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node. While this is a
current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
Some of the broad motivations for this are;
1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
allocated from. This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
page allocator paths.
2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
always be different to a single-zone node.
it was scheduled on as a result.
3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing. This
mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.
4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.
The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.
Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes.
The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
machine behaved similarly.

This is a microbenchmark that shows the benefit of removing the fair zone
allocation policy. It was tested uip to order-4 but only orders 0 and 1 are
shown as the other orders were comparable.

----------------
tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident
while new pages get reclaimed. The fair zone allocation policy mitigates this
problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

This shows that the series has little or not impact on tiobench which is
desirable and a reduction in system CPU usage. It indicates that the fair
zone allocation policy was removed in a manner that didn't reintroduce
one class of page aging bug. There were only minor differences in overall

in numbers of inodes reclaimed but the workload has few active inodes and
is likely a timing artifact.

While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.
This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.
1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
have a positive impact on compaction success rates.
2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
is required.
3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.
VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
statistics but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable
change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
sum_zone_node_page_state. The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
uses per-node stats but none exist yet. There is some renaming such as
vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
patch with no functional change. There is a lot of similarity between the
node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats
Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"
This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node. While this is a
current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
Some of the broad motivations for this are;
1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
allocated from. This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
page allocator paths.
2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
always be different to a single-zone node.
it was scheduled on as a result.
3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing. This
mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.
4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.
The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.
Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes.
The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
machine behaved similarly.

----------------
tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident
while new pages get reclaimed. The fair zone allocation policy mitigates this
problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

This shows that the series has little or not impact on tiobench which is
desirable and a reduction in system CPU usage. It indicates that the fair
zone allocation policy was removed in a manner that didn't reintroduce
one class of page aging bug. There were only minor differences in overall

It basically shows that kswapd was active at roughly the same rate in

reclaim was avoided in both cases. There appears to be a large difference
in numbers of inodes reclaimed but the workload has few active inodes and
is likely a timing artifact.

stutter simulates a simple workload. One part uses a lot of anonymous

The primary metric is checking for mmap latency.

While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.
This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.
1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
have a positive impact on compaction success rates.
2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
is required.
3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.
VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
statistics but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable
change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
sum_zone_node_page_state. The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
uses per-node stats but none exist yet. There is some renaming such as
vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
patch with no functional change. There is a lot of similarity between the
node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check
Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check
Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check
Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.

mm: workingset: eviction buckets for bigmem/lowbit machines
For per-cgroup thrash detection, we need to store the memcg ID inside
the radix tree cookie as well. However, on 32 bit that doesn't leave
enough bits for the eviction timestamp to cover the necessary range of
recently evicted pages. The radix tree entry would look like this:
[ RADIX_TREE_EXCEPTIONAL(2) | ZONEID(2) | MEMCGID(16) | EVICTION(12) ]
12 bits means 4096 pages, means 16M worth of recently evicted pages.
But refaults are actionable up to distances covering half of memory. To
not miss refaults, we have to stretch out the range at the cost of how
precisely we can tell when a page was evicted. This way we can shave
off lower bits from the eviction timestamp until the necessary range is
covered. E.g. grouping evictions into 1M buckets (256 pages) will
stretch the longest representable refault distance to 4G.
This patch implements eviction buckets that are automatically sized
according to the available bits and the necessary refault range, in
preparation for per-cgroup thrash detection.
The maximum actionable distance is currently half of memory, but to
support memory hotplug of up to 200% of boot-time memory, we size the
buckets to cover double the distance. Beyond that, thrashing won't be
detectable anymore.
During boot, the kernel will print out the exact parameters, like so:
[ 0.113929] workingset: timestamp_bits=12 max_order=18 bucket_order=6
In this example, there are 12 radix entry bits available for the
eviction timestamp, to cover a maximum distance of 2^18 pages (this is a
1G machine). Consequently, evictions must be grouped into buckets of
2^6 pages, or 256K.

otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check
Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
