[PATCH 0/2 v8] add ioctl/sysfs to donate file-backed pages

[Jaegeuk Kim]

Note, let me keep improving this patch set, while trying to get some feedbacks
from MM and API folks from [1].

If users clearly know which file-backed pages to reclaim in system view, they
can use this ioctl() to register in advance and reclaim all at once later.

I'd like to propose this API in F2FS only, since
1) the use-case is quite limited in Android at the moment. Once it's generall
accepted with more use-cases, happy to propose a generic API such as fadvise.
Please chime in, if there's any needs.

2) it's file-backed pages which requires to maintain the list of inode objects.
I'm not sure this fits in MM tho, also happy to listen to any feedback.

Change log from v7:
 - change the sysfs entry to reclaim pages in all f2fs mounts

Change log from v6:
 - change sysfs entry name to reclaim_caches_kb

Jaegeuk Kim (2):
  f2fs: register inodes which is able to donate pages
  f2fs: add a sysfs entry to request donate file-backed pages

[PATCH 1/2] f2fs: register inodes which is able to donate pages

[Jaegeuk Kim]

This patch introduces an inode list to keep the page cache ranges that users
can donate pages together.

 #define F2FS_IOC_DONATE_RANGE		_IOW(F2FS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 27,	\
						struct f2fs_donate_range)
 struct f2fs_donate_range {
	__u64 start;
	__u64 len;
 };

e.g., ioctl(F2FS_IOC_DONATE_RANGE, &range);

[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: add a sysfs entry to request donate file-backed pages

[Jaegeuk Kim]

1. ioctl(fd1, F2FS_IOC_DONATE_RANGE, {0,3});
2. ioctl(fd2, F2FS_IOC_DONATE_RANGE, {1,2});
3. ioctl(fd3, F2FS_IOC_DONATE_RANGE, {3,1});
4. echo 1024 > /sys/fs/f2fs/tuning/reclaim_caches_kb

This gives a way to reclaim file-backed pages by iterating all f2fs mounts until
reclaiming 1MB page cache ranges, registered by #1, #2, and #3.

5. cat /sys/fs/f2fs/tuning/reclaim_caches_kb
-> gives total number of registered file ranges.

Re: [PATCH 2/2 v2] f2fs: add a sysfs entry to request donate file-backed pages

[Jaegeuk Kim]

1. ioctl(fd1, F2FS_IOC_DONATE_RANGE, {0,3});
2. ioctl(fd2, F2FS_IOC_DONATE_RANGE, {1,2});
3. ioctl(fd3, F2FS_IOC_DONATE_RANGE, {3,1});
4. echo 1024 > /sys/fs/f2fs/tuning/reclaim_caches_kb

This gives a way to reclaim file-backed pages by iterating all f2fs mounts until
reclaiming 1MB page cache ranges, registered by #1, #2, and #3.

5. cat /sys/fs/f2fs/tuning/reclaim_caches_kb
-> gives total number of registered file ranges.

Please actually drive it instead of only interacting once after
I told you to.  The feedback is clearly that it is a MM thing, so please
drive it forward instead of going back to the hacky file system version.

I keep saying working in parallel for production. And, no worries, I won't
merge this to -next until I get the feedback from the MM folks. I was
waiting for a couple of weeks before bothering them, so will ping there.
