/*
* Double CLOCK lists
*
* Per node, two clock lists are maintained for file pages: the
* inactive and the active list. Freshly faulted pages start out at
* the head of the inactive list and page reclaim scans pages from the
* tail. Pages that are accessed multiple times on the inactive list
* are promoted to the active list, to protect them from reclaim,
* whereas active pages are demoted to the inactive list when the
* active list grows too big.
*
* fault ------------------------+

* +--------------+ | +-------------+
* reclaim <- | inactive | <-+-- demotion | active | <--+
* +--------------+ +-------------+ |

* +-------------- promotion ------------------+
*
*
* Access frequency and refault distance
*
* A workload is thrashing when its pages are frequently used but they
* are evicted from the inactive list every time before another access
* would have promoted them to the active list.
*
* In cases where the average access distance between thrashing pages
* is bigger than the size of memory there is nothing that can be
* done - the thrashing set could never fit into memory under any
* circumstance.
*
* However, the average access distance could be bigger than the
* inactive list, yet smaller than the size of memory. In this case,
* the set could fit into memory if it weren't for the currently
* active pages - which may be used more, hopefully less frequently:
*
* +-memory available to cache-+
* | |
* +-inactive------+-active----+
* a b | c d e f g h i | J K L M N |
* +---------------+-----------+
*
* It is prohibitively expensive to accurately track access frequency
* of pages. But a reasonable approximation can be made to measure
* thrashing on the inactive list, after which refaulting pages can be
* activated optimistically to compete with the existing active pages.
*
* Approximating inactive page access frequency - Observations:
*
* 1. When a page is accessed for the first time, it is added to the
* head of the inactive list, slides every existing inactive page
* towards the tail by one slot, and pushes the current tail page
* out of memory.
*
* 2. When a page is accessed for the second time, it is promoted to
* the active list, shrinking the inactive list by one slot. This
* also slides all inactive pages that were faulted into the cache
* more recently than the activated page towards the tail of the
* inactive list.
*
* Thus:
*
* 1. The sum of evictions and activations between any two points in
* time indicate the minimum number of inactive pages accessed in
* between.
*
* 2. Moving one inactive page N page slots towards the tail of the
* list requires at least N inactive page accesses.
*
* Combining these:
*
* 1. When a page is finally evicted from memory, the number of
* inactive pages accessed while the page was in cache is at least
* the number of page slots on the inactive list.
*
* 2. In addition, measuring the sum of evictions and activations (E)
* at the time of a page's eviction, and comparing it to another
* reading (R) at the time the page faults back into memory tells
* the minimum number of accesses while the page was not cached.
* This is called the refault distance.
*
* Because the first access of the page was the fault and the second
* access the refault, we combine the in-cache distance with the
* out-of-cache distance to get the complete minimum access distance
* of this page:
*
* NR_inactive + (R - E)
*
* And knowing the minimum access distance of a page, we can easily
* tell if the page would be able to stay in cache assuming all page
* slots in the cache were available:
*
* NR_inactive + (R - E) <= NR_inactive + NR_active
*
* which can be further simplified to
*
* (R - E) <= NR_active
*
* Put into words, the refault distance (out-of-cache) can be seen as
* a deficit in inactive list space (in-cache). If the inactive list
* had (R - E) more page slots, the page would not have been evicted
* in between accesses, but activated instead. And on a full system,
* the only thing eating into inactive list space is active pages.
*
*
* Activating refaulting pages
*
* All that is known about the active list is that the pages have been
* accessed more than once in the past. This means that at any given
* time there is actually a good chance that pages on the active list
* are no longer in active use.
*
* So when a refault distance of (R - E) is observed and there are at
* least (R - E) active pages, the refaulting page is activated
* optimistically in the hope that (R - E) active pages are actually
* used less frequently than the refaulting page - or even not used at
* all anymore.
*
* If this is wrong and demotion kicks in, the pages which are truly
* used more frequently will be reactivated while the less frequently
* used once will be evicted from memory.
*
* But if this is right, the stale pages will be pushed out of memory
* and the used pages get to stay in cache.
*
*
* Implementation
*
* For each node's file LRU lists, a counter for inactive evictions
* and activations is maintained (node->inactive_age).
*
* On eviction, a snapshot of this counter (along with some bits to
* identify the node) is stored in the now empty page cache radix tree
* slot of the evicted page. This is called a shadow entry.
*
* On cache misses for which there are shadow entries, an eligible
* refault distance will immediately activate the refaulting page.
