That may be too blithe a response.

I can see that I've lots of other mails to reply to, from you and from
others - I got held up for a week in advancing from gcc 4.8 on my test
machines. But I'd better rush this to you before reading further, because
what I was hunting the last few days rather invalidates earlier testing.
And I'm glad that I held back from volunteering a Tested-by - though,
yes, v13 and later are stable where the older versions were unstable.

I noticed that 5.8-rc5, with lrulock v16 applied, took significantly
longer to run loads than without it applied, when there should have been
only slight differences in system time. Comparing /proc/vmstat, something
that stood out was "pgrotated 0" for the patched kernels, which led here:

If pagevec_lru_move_fn() is now to TestClearPageLRU (I have still not
decided whether that's good or not, but assume here that it is good),
then functions called though it must be changed not to expect PageLRU!
