[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The patch titled
     move_tail_pages into lru_add_drain
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-use-pagevec-to-rotate-reclaimable-page-move_tail_pages-into-lru_add_drain.patch

This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-use-pagevec-to-rotate-reclaimable-page.patch

Subject: move_tail_pages into lru_add_drain
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx>

a.k.a. mm-use-pagevec-to-rotate-reclaimable-page-cleanup-2.patch

Opinions may differ, but I'm uneasy with leaving pages to be rotated on
their pagevecs for too long: although they're still visible via the LRU,
their page counts are raised, which excludes them from some operations.

Memory hotplug and page migration clearly want to be draining them:
but rather than add move_tail_pages calls in various places, won't we
be safer just to drain them whenever we drain the lru_add pagevecs?

So merge move_tail_pages into __lru_add_drain, which lets us remove
cpu_movetail_callback.  Rename __lru_add_drain to drain_cpu_pagevecs,
and correct the misleading "CPU is dead" comment found there.
