mm: Multi-gen LRU: remove wait_event_killable()
Android 14 and later default to MGLRU [1] and field telemetry showed
occasional long tail latency (>100ms) in the reclaim path.
Tracing revealed priority inversion in the reclaim path. In
try_to_inc_max_seq(), when high priority tasks were blocked on
wait_event_killable(), the preemption of the low priority task to call
wake_up_all() caused those high priority tasks to wait longer than
necessary. In general, this problem is not different from others of its
kind, e.g., one caused by mutex_lock(). However, it is specific to MGLRU
because it introduced the new wait queue lruvec->mm_state.wait.
The purpose of this new wait queue is to avoid the thundering herd
problem. If many direct reclaimers rush into try_to_inc_max_seq(), only
one can succeed, i.e., the one to wake up the rest, and the rest who
failed might cause premature OOM kills if they do not wait. So far there
is no evidence supporting this scenario, based on how often the wait has
been hit. And this begs the question how useful the wait queue is in
practice.
Based on Minchan's recommendation, which is in line with his commit
6d4675e60135 ("mm: don't be stuck to rmap lock on reclaim path") and the
rest of the MGLRU code which also uses trylock when possible, remove the
wait queue.
