[PATCH 1/2] mm: nonresident page tracking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rik van Riel <[email protected]>

Track non-resident pages through a simple hashing scheme.  This way
the space overhead is limited to 1 u32 per page, or 0.1% space overhead
and lookups are one cache miss.

Aside from seeing whether or not a page was recently evicted, we can
also take a reasonable guess at how many other pages were evicted since
this page was evicted.

TODO: make the entries unsigned long, currently we're limited to 
1^32*NUM_NR*PAGE_SIZE bytes of memory. Event though this would end up
being 1008 TB of memory, I suspect the hash function to go crap at around
4 to 16 TB.
