mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as contention
Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and eventually need to be rescheduled. This is treated as an abort event but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page allocator. This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary but continue the scanning. The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long time or the machine is over-saturated. It also avoids an unnecessary exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in the outer loop. 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 synccached-v3r16 noresched-v3r17 Amean fault-both-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 * 0.00%* Amean fault-both-3 2958.27 ( 0.00%) 2965.68 ( -0.25%) Amean fault-both-5 4091.90 ( 0.00%) 3995.90 ( 2.35%) Amean fault-both-7 5803.05 ( 0.00%) 5842.12 ( -0.67%) Amean fault-both-12 9481.06 ( 0.00%) 9550.87 ( -0.74%) Amean fault-both-18 14141.51 ( 0.00%) 13304.72 ( 5.92%) Amean fault-both-24 16438.00 ( 0.00%) 14618.59 ( 11.07%) Amean fault-both-30 17531.72 ( 0.00%) 16650.96 ( 5.02%) Amean fault-both-32 17101.96 ( 0.00%) 17145.15 ( -0.25%) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190118175136.31341-18-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
