vmscan: kill hibernation specific reclaim logic and unify it
shrink_all_zone() was introduced by commit d6277db4ab (swsusp: rework memory shrinker) for hibernate performance improvement. and sc.swap_cluster_max was introduced by commit a06fe4d307 (Speed freeing memory for suspend). commit a06fe4d307 said Without the patch: Freed 14600 pages in 1749 jiffies = 32.61 MB/s (Anomolous!) Freed 88563 pages in 14719 jiffies = 23.50 MB/s Freed 205734 pages in 32389 jiffies = 24.81 MB/s With the patch: Freed 68252 pages in 496 jiffies = 537.52 MB/s Freed 116464 pages in 569 jiffies = 798.54 MB/s Freed 209699 pages in 705 jiffies = 1161.89 MB/s At that time, their patch was pretty worth. However, Modern Hardware trend and recent VM improvement broke its worth. From several reason, I think we should remove shrink_all_zones() at all. detail: 1) Old days, shrink_zone()'s slowness was mainly caused by stupid io-throttle at no i/o congestion. but current shrink_zone() is sane, not slow. 2) shrink_all_zone() try to shrink all pages at a time. but it doesn't works fine on numa system. example) System has 4GB memory and each node have 2GB. and hibernate need 1GB. optimal) steal 500MB from each node. shrink_all_zones) steal 1GB from node-0. Oh, Cache balancing logic was broken. ;) Unfortunately, Desktop system moved ahead NUMA at nowadays. (Side note, if hibernate require 2GB, shrink_all_zones() never success on above machine) 3) if the node has several I/O flighting pages, shrink_all_zones() makes pretty bad result. schenario) hibernate need 1GB 1) shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-0 2) but it only reclaimed 990MB 3) stupidly, shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-1 4) it reclaimed 990MB Oh, well. it reclaimed twice much than required. In the other hand, current shrink_zone() has sane baling out logic. then, it doesn't make overkill reclaim. then, we lost shrink_zones()'s risk. 4) SplitLRU VM always keep active/inactive ratio very carefully. inactive list only shrinking break its assumption. it makes unnecessary OOM risk. it obviously suboptimal. Now, shrink_all_memory() is only the wrapper function of do_try_to_free_pages(). it bring good reviewability and debuggability, and solve above problems. side note: Reclaim logic unificication makes two good side effect. - Fix recursive reclaim bug on shrink_all_memory(). it did forgot to use PF_MEMALLOC. it mean the system be able to stuck into deadlock. - Now, shrink_all_memory() got lockdep awareness. it bring good debuggability.
