Subject: [PATCH 07/10] mm/vmscan: add helper for querying ability to age anonymous pages
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 2021 16:00:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210305000002.D171810D@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210304235949.7922C1C3@viggo.jf.intel.com>
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
Anonymous pages are kept on their own LRU(s). These lists could
theoretically always be scanned and maintained. But, without swap,
there is currently nothing the kernel can *do* with the results of a
scanned, sorted LRU for anonymous pages.
A check for '!total_swap_pages' currently serves as a valid check as
to whether anonymous LRUs should be maintained. However, another
method will be added shortly: page demotion.
Abstract out the 'total_swap_pages' checks into a helper, give it a
logically significant name, and check for the possibility of page
demotion.
