mm: multi-gen LRU: debugfs interface
Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen for working set estimation and proactive
reclaim. These features are required to optimize job scheduling (bin
packing) in data centers [1][2].
Compared with the page table-based approach and the PFN-based approach,
e.g., mm/damon/[vp]addr.c, this lruvec-based approach has the following
advantages:
1. It offers better choices because it is aware of memcgs, NUMA nodes,
shared mappings and unmapped page cache.
2. It is more scalable because it is O(nr_hot_pages), whereas the
PFN-based approach is O(nr_total_pages).
Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen_full for debugging.
