Alexander Motin 55427add3c Several improvements to ARC shrinking (#16197) ... - When receiving memory pressure signal from OS be more strict trying to free some memory. Otherwise kernel may come again and request much more. Return as result how much arc_c was actually reduced due to this request, that may be less than requested. - On Linux when receiving direct reclaim from some file system (that may be ZFS) instead of ignoring request completely, just shrink the ARC, but do not wait for eviction. Waiting there may cause deadlock. Ignoring it as before may put extra pressure on other caches and/or swap, and cause OOM if nothing help. While not waiting may result in more ARC evicted later, and may be too late if OOM killer activate right now, but I hope it to be better than doing nothing at all. - On Linux set arc_no_grow before waiting for reclaim, not after, or it may grow back while we are waiting. - On Linux add new parameter zfs_arc_shrinker_seeks to balance ARC eviction cost, relative to page cache and other subsystems. - Slightly update Linux arc_set_sys_free() math for new kernels.
