Re: [RFC] respect the referenced bit of KVM guest pages?

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

Hi Jeff,

> A side note - I've been doing some tracing and shrink_active_list is called a humongous number of times (25000-ish during a ~90 kvm run), with a net result of zero pages moved nearly all the time.  Your test is rescuing essentially all candidate pages from the inactive list.  Right now, I have the VM_EXEC || PageAnon version of your test.

Sorry for the long delayed replay.
I made reproduce environment today. but I don't have luck. I didn't
reproduce stack refault issue.
Could you please explain detailed reproduce way and your analysis way?

My environment is,
  x86_64 CPUx4 MEM 6G
  userland: fedora11
  kernel: latest mmotm

  cgroup size: 128M
  guest mem: 256M
  CONFIG_KSM=n

My result,
  - plenty anon and file fault happen. but it is ideal. it is caused
by demand paging.
  - do_anonymous_page almost doesn't handle stack fault. both host and guest.
