Yikes, that's a lot of code.
And it only handles anonymous pages?
Yes, for the time being. But, it is easy to extend to all kind of pages.
Also, I don't see anything in the code tying this to strictly demote
from DRAM to PMEM. Is that the end effect, or is it really implemented
that way and I missed it?
No, not restrict to PMEM. It just tries to demote from "preferred node"
(or called compute node) to a memory-only node. In the hardware with
PMEM, PMEM would be the memory-only node.
Thanks,
Yang
