Subject: [PATCH V3] MM: make vmpressure_win dynamic
Date: Sat, 10 May 2014 08:52:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140510085217.24a34794f0e4a4881c8eec0b@skynet.be> (raw)

This patch addresses TODO featuring in original version :

"Make the window size depend on machine size, as we do for vmstat"

It initializes vmpressure_win in vmstat using calculate_normal_threshold()
based on each zone/cpu * SWAP_CLUSTER_SIZE instead of
static SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX * 16 = 512

Some values :

CPU	MB	VMPRESSURE
8	512	1024
1	1024 	320
2	1024 	640
2	2048 	768
4	2048	1152
1	4096 	640
4	4096 	1920
...

(No maximum vmpressure value currently defined)

cf mm/vmstat.c: calculate_normal_threshold for further values

vmpressure_win is refreshed through cpu notifier and exposed read-only in
/proc/sys/vm/vmpressure_win
