vmscan: kill hibernation specific reclaim logic and unify it
shrink_all_zone() was introduced by commit d6277db4ab (swsusp: rework
memory shrinker) for hibernate performance improvement. and
sc.swap_cluster_max was introduced by commit a06fe4d307 (Speed freeing
memory for suspend).
commit a06fe4d307 said
Without the patch:
Freed 14600 pages in 1749 jiffies = 32.61 MB/s (Anomolous!)
Freed 88563 pages in 14719 jiffies = 23.50 MB/s
Freed 205734 pages in 32389 jiffies = 24.81 MB/s
With the patch:
Freed 68252 pages in 496 jiffies = 537.52 MB/s
Freed 116464 pages in 569 jiffies = 798.54 MB/s
Freed 209699 pages in 705 jiffies = 1161.89 MB/s
At that time, their patch was pretty worth. However, Modern Hardware
trend and recent VM improvement broke its worth. From several reason, I
think we should remove shrink_all_zones() at all.
detail:
1) Old days, shrink_zone()'s slowness was mainly caused by stupid io-throttle
at no i/o congestion.
but current shrink_zone() is sane, not slow.
2) shrink_all_zone() try to shrink all pages at a time. but it doesn't works
fine on numa system.
example)
System has 4GB memory and each node have 2GB. and hibernate need 1GB.
optimal)
steal 500MB from each node.
shrink_all_zones)
steal 1GB from node-0.
Oh, Cache balancing logic was broken. ;)
Unfortunately, Desktop system moved ahead NUMA at nowadays.
(Side note, if hibernate require 2GB, shrink_all_zones() never success
on above machine)
3) if the node has several I/O flighting pages, shrink_all_zones() makes
pretty bad result.
schenario) hibernate need 1GB
1) shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-0
2) but it only reclaimed 990MB
3) stupidly, shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-1
4) it reclaimed 990MB
Oh, well. it reclaimed twice much than required.
In the other hand, current shrink_zone() has sane baling out logic.
then, it doesn't make overkill reclaim. then, we lost shrink_zones()'s risk.
4) SplitLRU VM always keep active/inactive ratio very carefully. inactive list only
shrinking break its assumption. it makes unnecessary OOM risk. it obviously suboptimal.
Now, shrink_all_memory() is only the wrapper function of do_try_to_free_pages().
it bring good reviewability and debuggability, and solve above problems.
side note: Reclaim logic unificication makes two good side effect.
- Fix recursive reclaim bug on shrink_all_memory().
it did forgot to use PF_MEMALLOC. it mean the system be able to stuck into deadlock.
- Now, shrink_all_memory() got lockdep awareness. it bring good debuggability.
