These day, there are many platforms avaiable in the embedded market and they are smarter than kernel which has very limited information about working set so they want to involve memory management more heavily like android's lowmemory killer and ashmem or recent many lowmemory notifier(there was several trial for various company NOKIA, SAMSUNG, Linaro, Google ChromeOS, Redhat). One of the simple imagine scenario about userspace's intelligence is that platform can manage tasks as forground and backgroud so it would be better to reclaim background's task pages for end-user's *responsibility* although it has frequent referenced pages. This patch adds new knob "reclaim under proc/<pid>/" so task manager can reclaim any target process anytime, anywhere. It could give another method to platform for using memory efficiently. It can avoid process killing for getting free memory, which was really terrible experience because I lost my best score of game I had ever after I switch the phone call while I enjoyed the game. Reclaim file-backed pages only. echo file > /proc/PID/reclaim Reclaim anonymous pages only. echo anon > /proc/PID/reclaim Reclaim all pages echo all > /proc/PID/reclaim Change-Id: Iabdb7bc2ef3dc4d94e3ea005fbe18f4cd06739ab Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Patch-mainline: linux-mm @ 9 May 2013 16:21:24 [vinmenon@codeaurora.org: trivial merge conflict fixes] Signed-off-by: Vinayak Menon <vinmenon@codeaurora.org> |
