Subject: [PATCH 3/7] khugepaged: Drain LRU add pagevec to get rid of extra pins
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2020 20:05:57 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200327170601.18563-4-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200327170601.18563-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

__collapse_huge_page_isolate() may fail due to extra pin in the LRU add
pagevec. It's petty common for swapin case: we swap in pages just to
fail due to the extra pin.
