From 1bc115d87dffd1c43bdc3c9c9d1e3a51c195d18e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 11:29:05 +0100 Subject: mm: numa: Scan pages with elevated page_mapcount Currently automatic NUMA balancing is unable to distinguish between false shared versus private pages except by ignoring pages with an elevated page_mapcount entirely. This avoids shared pages bouncing between the nodes whose task is using them but that is ignored quite a lot of data. This patch kicks away the training wheels in preparation for adding support for identifying shared/private pages is now in place. The ordering is so that the impact of the shared/private detection can be easily measured. Note that the patch does not migrate shared, file-backed within vmas marked VM_EXEC as these are generally shared library pages. Migrating such pages is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.
