This patch changes the semantics of madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) from “reclaim a given range of pages” to migrate the given pages to lower tier memory or reclaim them if the migration fails. You might want to check the caller of shrink_page_list() to avoid changing madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) semantics. — Best Regards, Yan, Zi
