Subject: [PATCH 20/29] mm: support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
This patch adds POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE to vma_has_recency() so that the LRU
algorithm can ignore access to mapped files marked by this flag.
The advantages of POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE are:
1. Unlike MADV_SEQUENTIAL and MADV_RANDOM, it does not alter the
default readahead behavior.
2. Unlike MADV_SEQUENTIAL and MADV_RANDOM, it does not split VMAs and
therefore does not take mmap_lock.
3. Unlike MADV_COLD, setting it has a negligible cost, regardless of
how many pages it affects.
Its limitations are:
1. Like POSIX_FADV_RANDOM and POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL, it currently does
not support range. IOW, its scope is the entire file.
2. It currently does not ignore access through file descriptors.
Specifically, for the active/inactive LRU, given a file page shared
by two users and one of them having set POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE on the
file, this page will be activated upon the second user accessing
it. This corner case can be covered by checking POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
before calling mark_page_accessed() on the read path. But it is
considered not worth the effort.
There have been a few attempts to support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE, e.g., [1].
This time the goal is to fill a niche: a few desktop applications, e.g.,
large file transferring and video encoding/decoding, want fast file
streaming with mmap() rather than direct IO. Among those applications, an
SVT-AV1 regression was reported when running with MGLRU [2]. The
following test can reproduce that regression.
kb=$(awk '/MemTotal/ { print $2 }' /proc/meminfo)
kb=$((kb - 8*1024*1024))
modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=$kb
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M
mkfs.ext4 /dev/ram0
mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/
swapoff -a
fallocate -l 8G /mnt/swapfile
mkswap /mnt/swapfile
swapon /mnt/swapfile
wget http://ultravideo.cs.tut.fi/video/Bosphorus_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_YUV_Y4M.7z
7z e -o/mnt/ Bosphorus_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_YUV_Y4M.7z
SvtAv1EncApp --preset 12 -w 3840 -h 2160 \
-i /mnt/Bosphorus_3840x2160.y4m
For MGLRU, the following change showed a [9-11]% increase in FPS,
which makes it on par with the active/inactive LRU.
