28 * The window size (vmpressure_win) is the number of scanned pages before
29 * we try to analyze scanned/reclaimed ratio. So the window is used as a
30 * rate-limit tunable for the "low" level notification, and also for
31 * averaging the ratio for medium/critical levels. Using small window
32 * sizes can cause lot of false positives, but too big window size will
33 * delay the notifications.
34 *
35 * As the vmscan reclaimer logic works with chunks which are multiple of
36 * SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it makes sense to use it for the window size as well.
37 *
38 * TODO: Make the window size depend on machine size, as we do for vmstat
39 * thresholds. Currently we set it to 512 pages (2MB for 4KB pages).

44 * These thresholds are used when we account memory pressure through

53 * When there are too little pages left to scan, vmpressure() may miss the
54 * critical pressure as number of pages will be less than "window size".
55 * However, in that case the vmscan priority will raise fast as the
56 * reclaimer will try to scan LRUs more deeply.
57 *
58 * The vmscan logic considers these special priorities:
59 *
60 * prio == DEF_PRIORITY (12): reclaimer starts with that value
61 * prio <= DEF_PRIORITY - 2 : kswapd becomes somewhat overwhelmed
62 * prio == 0 : close to OOM, kernel scans every page in an lru
63 *
64 * Any value in this range is acceptable for this tunable (i.e. from 12 to
65 * 0). Current value for the vmpressure_level_critical_prio is chosen
66 * empirically, but the number, in essence, means that we consider
67 * critical level when scanning depth is ~10% of the lru size (vmscan
68 * scans 'lru_size >> prio' pages, so it is actually 12.5%, or one
69 * eights).
