This series is the result of the following discussion:

It mainly avoids building the code that walks page tables on CPUs that
use it, i.e., those don't support hardware accessed bit. Specifically,
it introduces a new Kconfig to guard some of functions added by
commit bd74fdaea146 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks")
on CPUs like POWER9, on which the series was tested.

Donet, could try this latest version instead? If it works well as the
old one you've been using, can you please provide your Tested-by tag?
Thanks.

Hi Yu Zhao,

This patch set looks promising.

I have conducted tests on PowerPC and x86.

In old patch set there is a cleanup patch which removes
struct scan_control *sc argument from try_to_inc_max_seq() and
run_aging(), Do we need to include that patch?

=>Here are some test results from PowerPC.
