I think
- recent_rolated[LRU_FILE] is incremented when file cache is moved from ACTIVE_FILE to INACTIVE_FILE. - recent_scanned[LRU_FILE] is sum of scanning numbers on INACTIVE/ACTIVE list of file. - file caches are added to INACITVE_FILE, at first. - get_scan_ratio() calculates %file to be
file recent rotated. %file = IO_cost * ------------ / ------------- anon + file recent scanned.
But when "files are used by streaming or some touch once application", there is no rotation because they are in INACTIVE FILE at first add_to_lru(). But recent_rotated will not increase while recent_scanned goes bigger and bigger.
Then %file goes to 0 rapidly.
Hmm?
Thanks, -kame
