Subject: [RFC 2/3] mm: introduce GCMA
Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2025 10:39:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250320173931.1583800-3-surenb@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250320173931.1583800-1-surenb@google.com>

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@google.com>

This patch introduces GCMA (Guaranteed Contiguous Memory Allocator)
cleacache backend which reserves some amount of memory at the boot
and then donates it to store clean file-backed pages in the cleancache.
GCMA aims to guarantee contiguous memory allocation success as well as
low and deterministic allocation latency.

Notes:
Originally, the idea was posted by SeongJae Park and Minchan Kim [1].
Later Minchan reworked it to be used in Android as a reference for
Android vendors to use [2].

+	  This enables the Guaranteed Contiguous Memory Allocator to allow
+	  low latency guaranteed contiguous memory allocations. Memory
+	  reserved by GCMA is donated to cleancache to be used as pagecache

+	  taken back from the cleancache and used to satisfy the request.
+	  Cleancache guarantees low latency successful allocation as long

+	  the memory donated to the cleancache.
