The action deprioritizes pages in the memory area of the target access pattern on their LRU lists. This is hence supposed to be used for rarely accessed (cold) memory regions so that cold pages could be more likely reclaimed first under memory pressure. Internally, it simply calls 'lru_deactivate()'. Using this with 'LRU_PRIO' action for hot pages, users can proactively sort LRU lists based on the access pattern. That is, it can make the LRU lists somewhat more trustworthy source of access temperature. As a result, efficiency of LRU-lists based mechanisms including the reclamation target selection could be improved.
