From 59dc76b0d4dfdd7dc46a1010e4afb44f60f3e97f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 16:56:31 -0700 Subject: mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list The inactive file list should still be large enough to contain readahead windows and freshly written file data, but it no longer is the only source for detecting multiple accesses to file pages. The workingset refault measurement code causes recently evicted file pages that get accessed again after a shorter interval to be promoted directly to the active list. With that mechanism in place, we can afford to (on a larger system) dedicate more memory to the active file list, so we can actually cache more of the frequently used file pages in memory, and not have them pushed out by streaming writes, once-used streaming file reads, etc. This can help things like database workloads, where only half the page cache can currently be used to cache the database working set. This patch automatically increases that fraction on larger systems, using the same ratio that has already been used for anonymous memory.
