shrink_page_list() can decide to give up reclaiming a page under a number of conditions such as 1. trylock_page() failure 2. page is unevictable 3. zone reclaim and page is mapped 4. PageWriteback() is true 5. page is swapbacked and swap is full 6. add_to_swap() failure 7. page is dirty and gfpmask don't have GFP_IO, GFP_FS 8. page is pinned 9. IO queue is congested 10. pageout() start IO, but not finished With lumpy reclaim, failures result in entering synchronous lumpy reclaim but this can be unnecessary. In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8), there is no point retrying. This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when it is known it will fail. Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is, 1. start shrink_page_list(async) 2. found queue_congested() 3. skip pageout write 4. still start shrink_page_list(sync) 5. wait on a lot of pages 6. again, found queue_congested() 7. give up pageout write again So, it's useless time wasting. However, just skipping page reclaim is also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example. It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128). After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows; - If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER Ignore queue congestion always. - If order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER skip write page and disable lumpy reclaim.
