[PATCH 0/8] Reduce writeback from page reclaim context V4
Sorry for the long delay, I got side-tracked on other bugs. This is a follow-on series from the series "Avoid overflowing of stack during page reclaim". It eliminates writeback requiring a filesystem from direct reclaim and follows on by reducing the amount of IO required from page reclaim to mitigate any corner ... 19 Jul 2010 10:13
[PATCH 4/8] vmscan: Do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim
When memory is under enough pressure, a process may enter direct reclaim to free pages in the same manner kswapd does. If a dirty page is encountered during the scan, this page is written to backing storage using mapping->writepage. This can result in very deep call stacks, particularly if the target storage or fil... 19 Jul 2010 10:13
[PATCH 6/8] fs,xfs: Allow kswapd to writeback pages
As only kswapd and memcg are writing back pages, there should be no danger of overflowing the stack. Allow the writing back of dirty pages in xfs from the VM.

[PATCH 7/8] writeback: sync old inodes first in background writeback
From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu(a)intel.com> A background flush work may run for ever. So it's reasonable for it to mimic the kupdate behavior of syncing old/expired inodes first. This behavior also makes sense from the perspective of page reclaim. File pages are added to the inactive list and promoted if refere... 19 Jul 2010 10:13
[PATCH 3/8] vmscan: tracing: Update post-processing script to distinguish between anon and file IO from page reclaim
It is useful to distinguish between IO for anon and file pages. This patch updates vmscan-tracing-add-a-postprocessing-script-for-reclaim-related-ftrace-events.patch so the post-processing script can handle the additional information.

[PATCH 2/8] vmscan: tracing: Update trace event to track if page reclaim IO is for anon or file pages
It is useful to distinguish between IO for anon and file pages. This patch updates vmscan-tracing-add-trace-event-when-a-page-is-written.patch to include that information. The patches can be merged together. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mel(a)csn.ul.ie> --- include/trace/events/vmscan.h | 8 ++++++-- mm/vmscan... 19 Jul 2010 10:13
[PATCH 8/8] vmscan: Kick flusher threads to clean pages when reclaim is encountering dirty pages
There are a number of cases where pages get cleaned but two of concern to this patch are; o When dirtying pages, processes may be throttled to clean pages if dirty_ratio is not met. o Pages belonging to inodes dirtied longer than dirty_writeback_centisecs get cleaned. The problem for reclaim is that... 19 Jul 2010 10:13
