From 55ab834a86a9934c4f17825c115f7dc16a89aae7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2022 10:46:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "mm: add nodes= arg to memory.reclaim" This reverts commit 12a5d3955227b0d7e04fb793ccceeb2a1dd275c5. Although it is recognized that a finer grained pro-active reclaim is something we need and want the semantic of this implementation is really ambiguous. In a follow up discussion it became clear that there are two essential usecases here. One is to use memory.reclaim to pro-actively reclaim memory and expectation is that the requested and reported amount of memory is uncharged from the memcg. Another usecase focuses on pro-active demotion when the memory is merely shuffled around to demotion targets while the overall charged memory stays unchanged. The current implementation considers demoted pages as reclaimed and that break both usecases. [1] has tried to address the reporting part but there are more issues with that summarized in [2] and follow up emails. Let's revert the nodemask based extension of the memcg pro-active reclaim for now until we settle with a more robust semantic.
