Subject: mm: multi-gen LRU: clarify scan_control flags
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2022 21:19:05 -0700
Among the flags in scan_control:
1. sc->may_swap, which indicates swap constraint due to memsw.max, is
supported as usual.
2. sc->proactive, which indicates reclaim by memory.reclaim, may not
opportunistically skip the aging path, since it is considered less
latency sensitive.
3. !(sc->gfp_mask & __GFP_IO), which indicates IO constraint, lowers
swappiness to prioritize file LRU, since clean file folios are more
likely to exist.
4. sc->may_writepage and sc->may_unmap, which indicates opportunistic
reclaim, are rejected, since unmapped clean folios are already
prioritized. Scanning for more of them is likely futile and can
cause high reclaim latency when there is a large number of memcgs.
The rest are handled by the existing code.
