mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.10.78 commit a6f5576bb195c3b7508e3e1c98d2dcf6691f96e8 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I47QS2 CVE: NA
--------------------------------
There's a new workingset counter introduced in commit 1899ad18c607 ("mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing"). With the help of this counter we can know the workingset is transitioning or thrashing. To leverage the benifit of this counter to memcg, we should introduce it into memory.stat. Then we could know the workingset of the workload inside a memcg better.
Bellow is the verification of this new counter in memory.stat. Read a file into the memory and then read it again to make these pages be active. The size of this file is 1G. (memory.max is greater than file size) The counters in memory.stat will be
inactive_file 0 active_file 1073639424
workingset_refault 0 workingset_activate 0 workingset_restore 0 workingset_nodereclaim 0
Trigger the memcg reclaim by setting a lower value to memory.high, and then some pages will be demoted into inactive list, and then some pages in the inactive list will be evicted into the storage.
inactive_file 498094080 active_file 310063104
workingset_refault 0 workingset_activate 0 workingset_restore 0 workingset_nodereclaim 0
Then recover the memory.high and read the file into memory again. As a result of it, the transitioning will occur. Bellow is the result of this transitioning,
inactive_file 498094080 active_file 575397888
workingset_refault 64746 workingset_activate 64746 workingset_restore 64746 workingset_nodereclaim 0
