Hello! Recent discussions [1] suggest that greater mutual understanding between memory reclaim on the one hand and RCU on the other might be in order. One possibility would be an open discussion. If it would help, I would be happy to describe how RCU reacts and responds to heavy load, along with some ways that RCU's reactions and responses could be enhanced if needed. Thanx, Paul [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/fb4d944e-fde7-423b-a376-25db0b317398@paulmck-laptop/
