Hugh Dickins 5095ae8375 mm: fewer underscores in ____pagevec_lru_add
What's so special about ____pagevec_lru_add() that it needs four leading
underscores?  Nothing, it just helped to distinguish from
__pagevec_lru_add() in 2.6.28 development.  Cut two leading underscores.

Hugh Dickins 2bcf887963 mm: take pagevecs off reclaim stack
Replace pagevecs in putback_lru_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru()
by lists of pages_to_free: then apply Konstantin Khlebnikov's
free_hot_cold_page_list() to them instead of pagevec_release().

Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever
pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces
(which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly,
removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim.
Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with
a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in
deep backtraces.

However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages
(nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the
time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible
for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left
holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely
compound case before putting on pages_to_free.

Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru().
The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c,
but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.

Lee Schermerhorn 894bc31041 Unevictable LRU Infrastructure
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages,
the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these
pages.  Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse
kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required,
resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour.

Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from
vmscan.  Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat.  Reworked to
maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide"
them from vmscan.

Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable
lru list.

Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set.
Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with
PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on.

The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option
[CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or
not a page may be evictable.  Subsequent patches will add the various
!evictable tests.  We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in
shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path.

To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and
tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state,
the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()'
-- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before
dropping the reference.  If the page has become unevictable,
putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the
unevictable list.  This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the
unevictable list.

Rik van Riel 4f98a2fee8 vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon").  The latter includes tmpfs.

The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.

This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists.  The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

Rik van Riel 68a22394c2 vmscan: free swap space on swap-in/activation
If vm_swap_full() (swap space more than 50% full), the system will free
swap space at swapin time.  With this patch, the system will also free the
swap space in the pageout code, when we decide that the page is not a
candidate for swapout (and just wasting swap space).

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
