#!/bin/sh # Script implements watermark_scale calculation which results in the same low # watermark as if extra_free_kbytes tunable were to be used. # # Usage: extra_free_kbytes.sh # # extra_free_kbytes is distributed between zones based on # zone.managed_pages/vm_total_pages ratio, where vm_total_pages is the sum of # zone.managed_pages for all zones (zone.high used in this calculation is 0 # when this is calculated). Therefore for each zone its share is calculated as: # # extra_free_pages = extra_free_kbytes / page_size # extra_share = extra_free_pages * managed_pages / vm_total_pages # # This extra_share is added to the low and high watermarks: # # low = min + max(min / 4, managed_pages * (watermark_scale / 10000)) + extra_share # high = min + 2 * max(min / 4, managed_pages * (watermark_scale / 10000)) + extra_share # # Because Android uses extra_free_kbytes to adjust the low watermark, we ignore # the difference in how watermark_scale and extra_free_kbytes affect the high # watermark and will match the low watermark only. # # To eliminate extra_share and compansate the difference with watermark_scale, # a new watermark_scale_new is calculated as: # # (1) max(min / 4, managed_pages * (watermark_scale / 10000)) + extra_share = # max(min / 4, managed_pages * (watermark_scale_new / 10000)) # # Two cases to consider: # A. managed_pages * (watermark_scale / 10000) > min / 4 # The formula (1) becomes: # # managed_pages * (watermark_scale / 10000) + extra_share = # managed_pages * (watermark_scale_new / 10000) # # after simplifying and substituting extra_share formula becomes: # # (2) watermark_scale_new = watermark_scale + extra_free_pages / vm_total_pages * 10000 # # B. managed_pages * (watermark_scale / 10000) < min / 4 # The formula (1) becomes: # # min / 4 + extra_share = max(min / 4, managed_pages * (watermark_scale_new / 10000)) # # after calculating watermark_scale_new, if (managed_pages * (watermark_scale_new / 10000)) # is still smaller than min / 4 then we can't compensate extra_share with # watermark_scale anyway. Therefore calculation becomes: # # watermark_scale_new = (min / 4 + extra_share) / managed_pages * 10000 # # after simplifying and substituting extra_share formula becomes: # # (3) watermark_scale_new = (min / 4) * 10000 / managed_pages + extra_free_pages / vm_total_pages * 10000 # # After defining watermark_delta = extra_free_pages / vm_total_pages * 10000: # # if (managed_pages * (watermark_scale / 10000) > min / 4) # watermark_scale_new = watermark_scale + watermark_delta # else # watermark_scale_new = (min / 4) * 10000 / managed_pages + watermark_delta # if [ "$#" -ne 1 ] then echo "Usage: $0 " exit fi extra_free_kbytes=$1 # if extra_free_kbytes knob exists, use it and exit if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/extra_free_kbytes ] then echo $extra_free_kbytes > /proc/sys/vm/extra_free_kbytes exit fi # record the original watermark_scale_factor value watermark_scale=$(getprop "ro.kernel.watermark_scale_factor") if [ -z "$watermark_scale" ] then watermark_scale=$(cat /proc/sys/vm/watermark_scale_factor) setprop "ro.kernel.watermark_scale_factor" "$watermark_scale" # On older distributions with no policies configured setprop may fail. # If that happens, use the kernel default of 10. if [ -z $(getprop "ro.kernel.watermark_scale_factor") ] then watermark_scale=10 fi fi # convert extra_free_kbytes to pages page_size=$(getconf PAGESIZE) page_size_kb=$((page_size/1024)) extra_free_pg=$((extra_free_kbytes/page_size_kb)) managed=($(grep managed /proc/zoneinfo | awk '{print $2}')) length=${#managed[@]} min=($(grep "min" /proc/zoneinfo | awk '{print $2}')) # calculate vm_total_pages. # WARNING: if the final low watermark differs from the original, the source of # the error is likely vm_total_pages which is impossible to get exact from the # userspace.
