Subject: [RFC] use radix_tree for non-resident page tracking
Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2005 21:07:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051010130705.GA5026@mail.ustc.edu.cn> (raw)
Hi Rik,
The CLOCK-Pro page replacement is quite appealing, and I'd like to
contribute an idea: How about store bookkeeping info of dropped pages
in-place in radix_tree?
The slots in radix_tree_node can be used for bookkeeping data when
the corresponding pages are dropped. When all pages in a radix_tree_node
have been dropped, it is registered in an array/list for delayed
reclaim.
It would be fast and simple:
- no cache-line pollution
- no extra lock (with Nick Piggin's great RCU improvement)
- ready to use lookup code
The memory footprint should be roughly the same, though with a whole
word of space for each page ;)
It can not cover the swap space, which should be handled differently
anyway, I guess.
Regards,
Wu Fengguang
