Subject[PATCH 3/5] Decouple reclaim and allocation for toptier nodes
Date
With a tight memory constraint, we need to proactively keep some
free memory in toptier node, such that 1) new allocation which is
mainly for request processing can be directly put in the toptier
node and 2) toptier node is able to accept hot pages promoted from
non-toptier node. To achieve that, we decouple the reclamation and
allocation mechanism, i.e. reclamation gets triggered at a different
watermark -- WMARK_DEMOTE, while allocation checks for the traditional
WMARK_HIGH. In this way, toptier nodes can maintain some free space to
accept both new allocation and promotion from non-toptier nodes.

On each toptier memory node, kswapd daemon is woken up to demote memory
when free memory on the node falls below the following fraction

demote_scale_factor/10000

The default value of demote_scale_factor is 200 , (i.e. 2%) so kswapd will
be woken up when available free memory on a node falls below 2%. The
demote_scale_factor can be adjusted higher if we need kswapd to keep more
free memory around by updating the sysctl variable

too small for the allocation bursts occurring in the system. This knob
can then be used to tune kswapd aggressiveness accordingly.

+demote_scale_factor
+===================
+
+This factor controls when kswapd wakes up to demote pages from toptier
+nodes. It defines the amount of memory left in a toptier node/system
+before kswapd is woken up and how much memory needs to be free from those
+nodes before kswapd goes back to sleep.
+
+The unit is in fractions of 10,000. The default value of 200 means if there
+are less than 2% of free toptier memory in a node/system, we will start to
+demote pages from that node.
