[PATCH v4 10/10] compaction: add drain ilru of pagevec

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Thu Jun 30 2011 - 10:57:05 EST


inorder_lru checks whether previous page of drained page is
in lru. If it isn't in lru, same_lru returns false and inorder_lru
got failed which would be frequent in heavy memory pressure as
previous page is in ilru pagevec. It's not desireable.

In addtion, fast returning of migrated page into LRU is important
in case of reclaiming pages by compation and kswapd/other direct
reclaim happens by parallel. That's because the pages in ilru pagevec
might be really tail of LRU so we can prevent eviction working set pages.

The elaspsed time of decompress 10GB in my experiment is following as.

inorder_lru inorder_lru + drain pagevec
