This patchset I have had around for a long time and improves
various zone and watermark balancing by making calculations
more logical.
When reading 128GB through the pagecache, in 4 concurrent
streams, the final page residency and total reclaim ratios
look like this (no highmem, ~900MB RAM):
2.6.14-git3
DMA pages= 2214, scan= 124146
NRM pages=215966, scan=3990129
Pages Scan
DMA 01.01 03.01
NRM 98.99 96.99
2.6.14-git3-vm
DMA pages= 2220, scan= 99264
NRM pages=216373, scan=4011975
Pages Scan
DMA 01.01 02.41
NRM 98.99 97.59
So in this case, DMA is still getting a beating, but things have
improved nicely. Now are results with highmem and ~4GB RAM:
2.6.14-git3
DMA pages=0, scan=0
NRM pages=177241, scan=1607991
HIG pages=817122, scan=1607166
Pages Scan
DMA 00.00 00.00
NRM 17.83 50.01
HIG 82.17 49.99
2.6.14-git3-vm
DMA pages=0, scan=0
NRM pages=178215, scan=553311
HIG pages=815771, scan=2757744
Pages Scan
DMA 00.00 00.00
NRM 17.92 16.71
HIG 82.07 83.28
Current kernels are abysmal, while the patches bring scanning to
an almost perfect ratio.
