  28 * The window size (vmpressure_win) is the number of scanned pages before
  29 * we try to analyze scanned/reclaimed ratio. So the window is used as a
  30 * rate-limit tunable for the "low" level notification, and also for
  31 * averaging the ratio for medium/critical levels. Using small window
  32 * sizes can cause lot of false positives, but too big window size will
  33 * delay the notifications.
  34 *
  35 * As the vmscan reclaimer logic works with chunks which are multiple of
  36 * SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it makes sense to use it for the window size as well.
  37 *
  38 * TODO: Make the window size depend on machine size, as we do for vmstat
  39 * thresholds. Currently we set it to 512 pages (2MB for 4KB pages).

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