mm: Support address range reclaim
This patch adds address range reclaim of a process. The requirement is following as, Like webkit1, it uses a address space for handling multi tabs. IOW, it uses *one* process model so all tabs shares address space of the process. In such scenario, per-process reclaim is rather coarse-grained so this patch supports more fine-grained reclaim for being able to reclaim target address range of the process. For reclaim target range, you should use following format. echo [addr] [size-byte] > /proc/pid/reclaim The addr should be page-aligned. So now reclaim konb's interface is following as. echo file > /proc/pid/reclaim reclaim file-backed pages only echo anon > /proc/pid/reclaim reclaim anonymous pages only echo all > /proc/pid/reclaim reclaim all pages echo 0x100000 8K > /proc/pid/reclaim reclaim pages in (0x100000 - 0x102000) Change-Id: I111131d31be1cfcfa246617b634a9a8bc4078098 Signed-off-by:Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Patch-mainline: linux-mm @ 9 May 2013 08:39:01 [vinmenon@codeaurora.org: trivial merge conflict fixes] Signed-off-by:
