mm: multi-gen LRU: rename lru_gen_struct to lru_gen_folio

Browse Source 
Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU", v3.

Overview
========

An memcg LRU is a per-node LRU of memcgs.  It is also an LRU of LRUs,
since each node and memcg combination has an LRU of folios (see
mem_cgroup_lruvec()).

Its goal is to improve the scalability of global reclaim, which is
critical to system-wide memory overcommit in data centers.  Note that
memcg reclaim is currently out of scope.

Its memory bloat is a pointer to each lruvec and negligible to each
pglist_data.  In terms of traversing memcgs during global reclaim, it
improves the best-case complexity from O(n) to O(1) and does not affect
the worst-case complexity O(n).  Therefore, on average, it has a sublinear
complexity in contrast to the current linear complexity.

The basic structure of an memcg LRU can be understood by an analogy to
the active/inactive LRU (of folios):
1. It has the young and the old (generations), i.e., the counterparts
   to the active and the inactive;
2. The increment of max_seq triggers promotion, i.e., the counterpart
   to activation;
3. Other events trigger similar operations, e.g., offlining an memcg
   triggers demotion, i.e., the counterpart to deactivation.

In terms of global reclaim, it has two distinct features:
1. Sharding, which allows each thread to start at a random memcg (in
   the old generation) and improves parallelism;
2. Eventual fairness, which allows direct reclaim to bail out at will
   and reduces latency without affecting fairness over some time.

The commit message in patch 6 details the workflow:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221222041905.2431096-7-yuzhao@google.com/

The following is a simple test to quickly verify its effectiveness.

  Test design:
  1. Create multiple memcgs.
  2. Each memcg contains a job (fio).
  3. All jobs access the same amount of memory randomly.
  4. The system does not experience global memory pressure.
  5. Periodically write to the root memory.reclaim.

  Desired outcome:
  1. All memcgs have similar pgsteal counts, i.e., stddev(pgsteal)
     over mean(pgsteal) is close to 0%.
  2. The total pgsteal is close to the total requested through
     memory.reclaim, i.e., sum(pgsteal) over sum(requested) is close
     to 100%.

  Actual outcome [1]:
                                     MGLRU off    MGLRU on
  stddev(pgsteal) / mean(pgsteal)    75%          20%
  sum(pgsteal) / sum(requested)      425%         95%

This patch (of 8):

The new name lru_gen_folio will be more distinct from the coming
lru_gen_memcg.
