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

50 * When there are too little pages left to scan, vmpressure() may miss the

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