mm: multi-gen LRU: debugfs interface
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen for working set estimation and proactive
reclaim. These techniques are commonly used to optimize job scheduling
(bin packing) in data centers [1][2].

Compared with the page table-based approach and the PFN-based
approach, this lruvec-based approach has the following advantages:
1. It offers better choices because it is aware of memcgs, NUMA nodes,
   shared mappings and unmapped page cache.
2. It is more scalable because it is O(nr_hot_pages), whereas the
   PFN-based approach is O(nr_total_pages).

Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen_full for debugging.
