To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be
applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms
"activation" and "deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive
LRU, as usual.
The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging
promotes hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them
accessed through page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens
consequently when it increments max_seq. The aging has the complexity
O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in hot pages. Promotion
in the aging path does not require any LRU list operations, only the
updates of the gen counter and lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as
the result of the increment of max_seq, requires LRU list operations,
e.g., lru_deactivate_fn().
The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
min_seq when the lists indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS become empty. A
feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over
anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types
are available from the same generation.
Each generation is divided into multiple tiers. Tiers represent
different ranges of numbers of accesses through file descriptors. A
page accessed N times through file descriptors is in tier
order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only
bits in page->flags. In contrast to moving across generations, which
requires the LRU lock, moving across tiers only involves operations on
page->flags. The feedback loop also monitors refaults over all tiers
and decides when to protect pages in which tiers (N>1), using the
first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier contains single-use
unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best choices. The
eviction moves a page to the next generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the
feedback loop decides so. This approach has the following advantages:
1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by
inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the
eviction path.
2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids
overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first
tier, since N=0.)
3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than
twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O
workloads.
