From 73d1ff551760f0c79c47ab70faa4c2ca91413f5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 11/29] mm: multi-gen LRU: thrashing prevention
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms for thrashing prevention, as
requested by many desktop users [1].
When set to value N, it prevents the working set of N milliseconds from
getting evicted. The OOM killer is triggered if this working set cannot
be kept in memory. Based on the average human detectable lag (~100ms),
N=1000 usually eliminates intolerable lags due to thrashing. Larger
values like N=3000 make lags less noticeable at the risk of premature OOM
kills.
Compared with the size-based approach [2], this time-based approach
has the following advantages:
1. It is easier to configure because it is agnostic to applications
and memory sizes.
2. It is more reliable because it is directly wired to the OOM killer.
