Currently the monitor work is scheduled with a fixed interval of HZ/20, which is roughly 50 milliseconds. The drawback of this approach is low utilization of the 512 page slots in scenarios with infrequence kvfree_rcu() calls. For example on an Android system: <snip> kworker/3:3-507 [003] .... 470.286305: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000d0f0dde5 nr_records=6 kworker/6:1-76 [006] .... 470.416613: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000ea0d6556 nr_records=1 kworker/6:1-76 [006] .... 470.416625: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x000000003e025849 nr_records=9 kworker/3:3-507 [003] .... 471.390000: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000815a8713 nr_records=48 kworker/1:1-73 [001] .... 471.725785: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000fda9bf20 nr_records=3 kworker/1:1-73 [001] .... 471.725833: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000a425b67b nr_records=76 kworker/0:4-1411 [000] .... 472.085673: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x000000007996be9d nr_records=1 kworker/0:4-1411 [000] .... 472.085728: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000d0f0dde5 nr_records=5 kworker/6:1-76 [006] .... 472.260340: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x0000000065630ee4 nr_records=102 <snip> In many cases, out of 512 slots, fewer than 10 were actually used. In order to improve batching and make utilization more efficient this commit sets a drain interval to a fixed 5-seconds interval. Floods are detected when a page fills quickly, and in that case, the reclaim work is re-scheduled for the next scheduling-clock tick (jiffy). After this change: <snip> kworker/7:1-371 [007] .... 5630.725708: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x000000005ab0ffb3 nr_records=121 kworker/7:1-371 [007] .... 5630.989702: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x0000000060c84761 nr_records=47 kworker/7:1-371 [007] .... 5630.989714: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x000000000babf308 nr_records=510 kworker/7:1-371 [007] .... 5631.553790: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000bb7bd0ef nr_records=169 kworker/7:1-371 [007] .... 5631.553808: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x0000000044c78753 nr_records=510 kworker/5:6-9428 [005] .... 5631.746102: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000d98519aa nr_records=123 kworker/4:7-9434 [004] .... 5632.001758: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x00000000526c9d44 nr_records=322 kworker/4:7-9434 [004] .... 5632.002073: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x000000002c6a8afa nr_records=185 kworker/7:1-371 [007] .... 5632.277515: rcu_invoke_kfree_bulk_callback: rcu_preempt bulk=0x000000007f4a962f nr_records=510 <snip> Here, all but one of the cases, more than one hundreds slots were used, representing an order-of-magnitude improvement.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
