The should be in advance of patch2, and change above to use
folio_has_cpupid() helper() too.

It shares the same logic of !folio_has_cpupid() but it might be confusing to
put !folio_has_cpupid(folio) && node_is_toptier(node) here. folio's
cpupid has nothing to do with the stats here, thus I did not use the
function.

If folio don't include access time, we do migrate it but it isn't a
promotion, so don't count it, other comments?

PS: Could we rename folio_has_cpupid() to folio_has_access_time(), even
without memory_tiering, we still have cpupid in folio, right?

folio_has_access_time() would be the opposite of folio_has_cpupid().
If memory tiering is off (either at compile time or dynamically), a
folio has cpupid all the time.


Maybe call it "folio_use_cpupid()" or sth like that? The "has" is a bit
misleading, because the folio has a cpuid in any case, no?

The folio's cpupid field is reused to record page access time, when the folio
is !node_is_toptier() and memory tiering mode is on.

In sum, using folio_use_access_time() as !folio_has_cpupid() seems
better to me, since it covers the special use of folio's cpupid field.


It sounds good, thanks.

Let me know your thoughts.
