mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets
Previously we were using the ratio of the number of lru pages scanned to the number of eligible lru pages to determine the number of slab objects to scan. The problem with this is that these two things have nothing to do with each other, so in slab heavy work loads where there is little to no page cache we can end up with the pages scanned being a very low number. This means that we reclaim next to no slab pages and waste a lot of time reclaiming small amounts of space. Consider the following scenario, where we have the following values and the rest of the memory usage is in slab Active: 58840 kB Inactive: 46860 kB Every time we do a get_scan_count() we do this scan = size >> sc->priority where sc->priority starts at DEF_PRIORITY, which is 12. The first loop through reclaim would result in a scan target of 2 pages to 11715 total inactive pages, and 3 pages to 14710 total active pages. This is a really really small target for a system that is entirely slab pages. And this is super optimistic, this assumes we even get to scan these pages. We don't increment sc->nr_scanned unless we 1) isolate the page, which assumes it's not in use, and 2) can lock the page. Under pressure these numbers could probably go down, I'm sure there's some random pages from daemons that aren't actually in use, so the targets get even smaller. Instead use sc->priority in the same way we use it to determine scan amounts for the lru's. This generally equates to pages. Consider the following slab_pages = (nr_objects * object_size) / PAGE_SIZE What we would like to do is scan = slab_pages >> sc->priority but we don't know the number of slab pages each shrinker controls, only the objects. However say that theoretically we knew how many pages a shrinker controlled, we'd still have to convert this to objects, which would look like the following scan = shrinker_pages >> sc->priority scan_objects = (PAGE_SIZE / object_size) * scan or written another way scan_objects = (shrinker_pages >> sc->priority) * (PAGE_SIZE / object_size) which can thus be written scan_objects = ((shrinker_pages * PAGE_SIZE) / object_size) >> sc->priority which is just scan_objects = nr_objects >> sc->priority We don't need to know exactly how many pages each shrinker represents, it's objects are all the information we need. Making this change allows us to place an appropriate amount of pressure on the shrinker pools for their relative size.
