   4 Subject: [PATCH 19/29] mm: add vma_has_recency()
   5
   6 Add vma_has_recency() to indicate whether a VMA may exhibit temporal
   7 locality that the LRU algorithm relies on.
   8
   9 This function returns false for VMAs marked by VM_SEQ_READ or
  10 VM_RAND_READ.  While the former flag indicates linear access, i.e., a
  11 special case of spatial locality, both flags indicate a lack of temporal
  12 locality, i.e., the reuse of an area within a relatively small duration.
  13
  14 "Recency" is chosen over "locality" to avoid confusion between temporal
  15 and spatial localities.
  16
  17 Before this patch, the active/inactive LRU only ignored the accessed bit
  18 from VMAs marked by VM_SEQ_READ.  After this patch, the active/inactive
  19 LRU and MGLRU share the same logic: they both ignore the accessed bit if
  20 vma_has_recency() returns false.
  21
  22 For the active/inactive LRU, the following fio test showed a [6, 8]%
  23 increase in IOPS when randomly accessing mapped files under memory
  24 pressure.
  25
  26   kb=$(awk '/MemTotal/ { print $2 }' /proc/meminfo)
  27   kb=$((kb - 8*1024*1024))
  28
  29   modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=$kb
  30   dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M
  31
  32   mkfs.ext4 /dev/ram0
  33   mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/
  34   swapoff -a
  35
  36   fio --name=test --directory=/mnt/ --ioengine=mmap --numjobs=8 \
  37       --size=8G --rw=randrw --time_based --runtime=10m \
  38       --group_reporting
  39
  40 The discussion that led to this patch is here [1].  Additional test
  41 results are available in that thread.
