mm: memcg: only evict file pages when we have plenty
Commit e9868505 ("mm, vmscan: only evict file pages when we have plenty") makes a point of not going for anonymous memory while there is still enough inactive cache around. The check was added only for global reclaim, but it is just as useful to reduce swapping in memory cgroup reclaim: 200M-memcg-defconfig-j2 vanilla patched Real time 454.06 ( +0.00%) 453.71 ( -0.08%) User time 668.57 ( +0.00%) 668.73 ( +0.02%) System time 128.92 ( +0.00%) 129.53 ( +0.46%) Swap in 1246.80 ( +0.00%) 814.40 ( -34.65%) Swap out 1198.90 ( +0.00%) 827.00 ( -30.99%) Pages allocated 16431288.10 ( +0.00%) 16434035.30 ( +0.02%) Major faults 681.50 ( +0.00%) 593.70 ( -12.86%) THP faults 237.20 ( +0.00%) 242.40 ( +2.18%) THP collapse 241.20 ( +0.00%) 248.50 ( +3.01%) THP splits 157.30 ( +0.00%) 161.40 ( +2.59%) Signed-off-by:Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by:
