When I tested vmscale in mmtest in 32bit, I found the benchmark was slow down 0.5 times. base node 1 global-1 User 12.98 16.04 System 147.61 166.42 Elapsed 26.48 38.08 With vmstat, I found IO wait avg is much increased compared to base. The reason was highmem_dirtyable_memory accumulates free pages and highmem_file_pages from HIGHMEM to MOVABLE zones which was wrong. With that, dirth_thresh in throtlle_vm_write is always 0 so that it calls congestion_wait frequently if writeback starts. With this patch, it is much recovered. base node fi 1 global-1 fix User 12.98 16.04 13.78 System 147.61 166.42 143.92 Elapsed 26.48 38.08 29.64 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1468404004-5085-4-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.netSigned-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
