The patch titled Subject: mm/vmscan: remove unnecessary lruvec adding has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-vmscan-remove-unnecessary-lruvec-adding.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alex Shi <alex.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/vmscan: remove unnecessary lruvec adding We don't have to add a freeable page into lru and then remove from it. This change saves a couple of actions and makes the moving more clear. The SetPageLRU needs to be kept before put_page_testzero for list integrity, otherwise: #0 move_pages_to_lru #1 release_pages if !put_page_testzero if (put_page_testzero()) !PageLRU //skip lru_lock SetPageLRU() list_add(&page->lru,) list_add(&page->lru,) [akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: coding style fixes] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1604566549-62481-6-git-send-email-alex.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Duyck <alexander.duyck@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Chen, Rong A" <rong.a.chen@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx> Cc: Kirill A.
